Windows Explorer missing

[William B. Lurie]

On newly formatted drive, I installed WIN 98 on first
partition and XP Pro on second partition, in that order.
All went well, but in exercising XP, I can't seem to find
Windows Explorer. Can someone lead me to it, in
case I'm just not looking for it properly? Or in case I
really have to load it specifically, how do I do so, from
the XP Installation CD? Or maybe copy something
over from the working hard drive?

Thank you.

1. Right-click on your Desktop and select: NEW ---> SHORTCUT
2. In the Create Shortcut window, type in: EXPLORER.EXE , and click "Next"
3. In the next window, type in: Windows Explorer , and click "Finish"
4. A new Windows Explorer shortcut icon will appear on your Desktop.

Hi William,

Just a note, if XP is not installed on C:

The Folders Bar in Windows Explorer Does Not Contain Any Icons
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q307028

Adaptation for the Article: Needs to be a path not a drive letter, so subst
c: [x]:\. Note backslash converts a drive letter to a path. It must point
to a valid folder as in: c: d:\Windows
