Is it possible to uninstall Windows Explorer and then install it again?

About every few seconds, a pop-up appears on my desktop saying ''Windows explorer has stopped working'' and then ''Windows explorer is restarting'' and whenever this happens it closes what ever program I am using. I've tried Norton Antivirus scans, System Restore and nothing has worked. I have a feeling it might be spyware. I have a beautiful Windows Vista computer so PLEASE HELP!!!!!

No, the only way to do that is to reinstall windows

Do you mean Internet Explorer or do you mean Windows Explorer?



Two different, but integrated applications.



As said before, Internet Explorer can be uninstalled and reinstalled. However, that routine doesn't remove and add back in the program - it mearly removes direct references (shorcuts) to the program.



As far as Windows Explorer is concerned, same thing. You can't really remove and re-add it back in.



This is how Windows is programmed - its not a component system.... mostly so MS could win anti-trust court cases for which we (people like you in this situation) pay for with non-consumer-friendly speed bumps.
