What to when explorer.exe got corrupted !!?
I had best way to bypass it.
1. Open in-built Internet Explorer , and in address bar type" c:" and press Enter.
2. Now you will see your Main Directory, and Now you are ready to excess any file using iexplorer.exe
3. You can surf Image, MP3, and Videos and many more...

For using all extensions file I will prefer Safari or Opera or Crome.
4. After bypassing this fetal, install explorer.exe from any good PC and paste it in C:/Windows and now restart and Now you will made bypass and got out from this corruption.

A short, practical supplement to the thread: copying a working explorer.exe from another PC can sometimes restore a missing file, but it is a risky, last‑resort move. File version, service pack, and CPU architecture must match exactly; otherwise Windows can become unstable or refuse to boot. @KumarUtkarsh’s suggestion explains why a replacement might work in some cases, and ’s experience shows why browser-based workarounds are unreliable for full repairs. Back up user data before trying anything below.

Try these safer repair steps first (run an elevated Command Prompt or use the Recovery Environment when the system won't start):

# Windows 8/10/11 (from an admin prompt)
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

# Offline (WinRE) System File Checker
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows

If SFC/ DISM reports problems it cannot fix, use System Restore or the installation media’s Startup Repair. For Windows 7/Vista, run sfc /scannow from an elevated prompt or from the recovery console; a repair‑install (in‑place upgrade) using the original media will preserve programs and user files if other fixes fail.

Only replace explorer.exe manually as a last resort: boot to WinRE or a recovery environment so the file is not locked, and ensure the donor file is the same Windows build and bitness. If permissions block replacement, these commands (used with care in WinRE) can take ownership and grant access:

takeown /f C:\Windows\explorer.exe
icacls C:\Windows\explorer.exe /grant Administrators:F

If corruption is caused by malware, removing or replacing explorer.exe will not fix the root cause — use an offline AV/ rescue disk to scan. Final note: keep System Restore enabled and maintain current backups to avoid data loss when system files fail.

Running windows 7 ultimate with chrome and this trick didn't work. I was able to save the file but no way to upload more or less it is displayed as a FTP site. When I used win 7 with IE it automatically opens in explorer so if it was corrupted this won't work either. Which OS did you try this on?

I told you that use Safari is one of the best way to open or edit any file.
you must search a software "Songsbird" on Google and download it, Use it as explorer + notepad + editior + viewer and so more.

If satisfied then reply me...

Where was any of that listed in your original post? I had no problem downloading the file uploading a file is where the problem would come in to play.

This may be a good way to backup files if your explorer is corrupted but if you have no other options available IMO this will not work for replacing corrupted files. Unless there are a few steps missing.

For using all extensions file I will prefer Safari or Opera or Crome

This is your only recommendation and I was using Chrome.

BTW you didn't answer my question what operating system did you test this on?
