The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows cannot find C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

Asked by Damester in Web Browsers, Internet Explorer Web Browser

Tags: Internet Explorer - Windows XP

I have scoured google for a solution but cannot seem to resolve
If i try to run Internet Explorer i get:
---------------------------
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
---------------------------
Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------
So I read this is spyware and ran spybot which did find a few issues including some relevant BHO's that I beleive we to do with the issue. It removed all these and I restarted.
I removed IE from the add remove windows compnenets and the reinstalled
I also ran the latest IE7 update multiple time, still no luck
I recent spybot scan found no errors and my Hicjack log looks clean (available if requested)
I also found some vbs script to initiate re-insall of IE whereby I have to point to numerous
system files that it looks for when re-installing at the end it says:
---------------------------
RUNDLL
---------------------------
Error in iesetup.dll
Missing entry:IEAccessSysInst
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------
