No.

Use EXPLORER.EXE from C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

Sorry, my Win2K does not have this suf-folder: dllcache under system32.

That's because this is a Win XP newsgroup, answers to Win 2K problems are
not answered here.
You need to go to a Win 2K newsgroup.

How do you know?

Not a good idea. Provided that you can access Windows, install this
optional WinXP update, replacing Explorer.exe among other files:

Note that replacing an infected file does *not* clean a compromised
system.

I got the Kaperskery pop up box that the D:\Windows\Explorer.exe and saying
'Hidden data sending'.

I need to deny the application/file.

I keep scanning my PC with adware and anti-virus program at the moment.
