Solve : Explorer.EXE Corrupt File...?

Answer»

Hello, Computer People.

I am using a Dell OptiPlex GX110 running Windows XP Service pack 2. I bought this computer from a guy who refurbishes old computers and stuff. Its been working fine, except lately I've been getting this message;



I ran chkdsk or whatever and this happened;



I answered 'y.' (And I have no clue why. *Is scared.*)

Did I do this right? Should I do something ELSE?

Thanks in advance for your responses! Does the message still COME up after you ran chkdsk?
And what happened before this started, did you make any changes?I didn't make any big changes, no.

And so far I haven't gotten the message again.

So I think its all good.

I hope. Quote

filename
FAT only. Specifies the file or set of files to check for fragmentation. Wildcard characters (* and ?) are allowed.

path
FAT only. Specifies the location of a file or set of files within the folder structure of the volume.

size
NTFS only. Changes the LOG file size to the specified number of kilobytes. Must be used with the /l switch.

volume
FAT only. Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name.

/c
NTFS only. Skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.

/f
Fixes errors on the volume. The volume must be locked. If Chkdsk cannot lock the volume, it offers to check it the next time the computer starts.

/i
NTFS only. Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.

/l
NTFS only. Displays current size of the log file.

/r
Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies /f ). If Chkdsk cannot lock the volume, it offers to check it the next time the computer starts.

/v
On FAT. Displays the full path and name of every file on the volume.
On NTFS. Displays CLEANUP messages, if any.

/x
NTFS only. Forces the volume to dismount first, if necessary. All opened handles to the volume are then invalid (implies /f ).

/?
Displays this list of Chkdsk switches.

These are the available switches for chkdsk.

So from the command promt you want to type chkdsk /r to fix any problems.
Note the space between chkdsk and the /Thanks, I'll try that.

Last night, it started coming up again.

I did chkdsk and it still came up.

But after I restarted, the blue chkdsk screen came up and so far I haven't seen it again.
