    Pretty sure you need explorer.exe to run windows, don't delete it.

    True is dat, But thats probably why its called "explorer.exe" to confuse users to think theres nothing out of the ordinary, just be very careful with what your deleting, Or do the logical thing and fook it, wipe the bastard
