If your Windows Vista doesn’t manage to start explorer.exe on boot, you may want to try a couple of steps in order to make sure that your operating system has not got any virus and that it is running fine. Here is what to do.
- First of all scan your computer with an antivirus and antispyware to be sure that it hasn’t got anything harmful.
- As a second step, boot your computer in safe mode to make sure that any software installed by you has not interfered with your operating system.
- Right after that click Start – in the Search Box, type regedit and press Enter. Locate this key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and make sure that, in the right pane, the subkey Shell having the value Explorer.exe is available
- As a final step click Start – in the search box, type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
- When the scanning is over, right click on the result – run as Administrator and read KB928228 to understand how to use this data.

Or even better still get Windows Live OneCare that will most definately tell you if you have a virus & get rid of the virus software after this download Gmer rootkit detector & then you will get rid of the virus completely.
If you get stuck with any of this feel free to ask & i will run through the above with you.

Do not forget when you find the virus- make sure that you report it to Microsoft, who then will be able to identify its owner.

This article made me look at that registry key, but I saw it was correct. Then I scrolled down a little bit and noticed that my problem was because the ‘Userinit” key was set to “X:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe”
Obviously, I don’t have Windows installed on the X: drive, so I changed it to C: and that fixed my problem. (I think this happened because someone tried to re-install Windows Vista, but it failed and failed to change that key back. WinPE mounts itself on the X: drive).
Thanks a bunch!
