    What is the Operating System you are using or have installed in your pc? You could try to use the method of "clean boot" manually, by first starting the System Configuration Utility and after that configuring selective startup options and so on. Just follow the steps mentioned in this ms article and let us know your results.

    Explorer.exe is the desktop environment in Windows. It corrupts mainly due to virus. Restart your system and boot in safe mode by pressing F8 continuously. If the system boots properly then first take a backup of your data. In safe mode run System restore. If this does not work then you will need to re-install Windows back again.
