VERY VERY VERY important to have the same file name for your computer to boot the start menu from. i messed mine up at first just for having a capitol letter in the word explorer. take his advice and copy and past the same name for the Shell file!

@TheIdlechance LOL CTRL+ALT+Delete Task manager-> New Task-> Explorer.exe

Take a Rage Dump. Or, Just get a new explorer.exe from another computer.....
