when i try to open "my computer","control paned ","recycle bin " etc
error comes window exploer is not working
what is this
plz sugggest me solution

Why, the solution is simple. Abandon Windows, and install Linux

PS:
Out of curiosity - what exactly does the error say?

Which OS is this?

Assuming Windows ("My Computer" is a windows-ism, but you could be accessing a windows partition from linux - are you?)

The error means that Windows File Explorer is not working.
This seems clear enough. Since it is a proprietary program, there is no way to tell for sure why this should be. If it has been working before, then the program has become corrupted - possibly by a virus or other malware. Its hard to tell with windows.

If this is a new machine, and it does happen to new machines, then it means the install of windows is broken. Take it back where you got it and tell them to fix it.

In all the cases I can find, the fix is to reinstall windows or restore it from a backup (in safe mode).

Many of us have switched to gnu/linux because of nonsense like this.

Similarly, we freedom-lovers are reluctant to become enablers of proprietary systems. See:

amritpalpathak -

If you want any useful replies, please specify:

1. What operating system (name and version) are you running?

2. What is the exact error message?

3. If this is indeed Windows, then click on "details" and give us this information, too.

4. If this is indeed Windows, have you tried going into "Safe mode", doing whatever "cleanup" or "recovery" you can, and rebooting?

5. "What changed" just before the problem began occurring?

I'm sorry, but you've given far too little information for anybody to help you!

Well put.Windows Explorer is not working.

Windows Explorer has stopped working.

These are quite a common error messages. eg.

There is a lot of malware for windows which will damage WExp, and make the computer unusable. I include in this category an MS Security Update which can also do this. (That article is a good read btw.)

It has also happened recently in Windows 7 OEM installs. Nobody seems to know why - restoring usually fixes the problem but I would want to see those vendors caned by customers rather than enabled. If the pre-install does not work, take it back to the shop.

I have noticed that, after using gnu/linux for some years, windows has become quite painful to use and maintain.

Wow! This wasn't even a clever troll.

well, I think this is Linux forums, and if you are using MS windows this isn't appropriate place to ask solution for your problem, may be you can find better solution at some ms forums, tho I would like to help you if you clearly specify your problem mentioning list of thing specified by "paulsm4".

Thank you

@#%%! (checks) User info says 11 posts, at the rate of 11 posts/day ... i.e. posted 11 times today. Checking posts though shows quite a wide variety not expected from a troll. It looks more like someone who has just installed Ubuntu and is having fun learning all about it.
Actually, LQ is a reasonable place to ask about windows too. We want to attract these guys so we can show them how much better gnu/linux is

However: you have a point. linux software is not the place for a windows question - unless the error is coming from wine? Is this even possible? If it is a windows question, and it sure looks like one, then it belongs in general or non-nix.

Not a Linux question---off to General we go.....

look at the post made by " amritpalpathak"

read those posts . then it will become VERY CLEAR why the above is all i am posting!!

ROFL LMFAO

why does apt-get internet-explorer doen't work... ??

What?? When did they take it out of the repositories?? Oh my God, what are we to do now?

Of course, you can always try http://windowsquestions.org

Bad link

Why do I get a severe case of deja-vu when I try:

http://windowsquestions.org

in a new tab - I don't even get an opportunity to login - it seems to know who I am, and my password and I don't even have windows on this machine. Is it magic???
