Definitely worked and thanks. Worked on W7 Ultimate but used the files from an original installation (another SSD). Used the commands, followed the instructions and now AVAST doesn't complain any longer.

Hi Britec - this has worked well for me EXCEPT...that as it stands the final MUST-READ instruction confuses things considerably. It appears to be an ammendment to the video which suggests that for 64bit systems the shell32.dll file should be copied to the sysWOW64 folder...INSTEAD of into the System32 folder! What you mean is, presumably - AS WELL AS !! Anyone who thinks that the sysWOW64 folder is a (better) alternative, will lose their entire system - and so get the black screens that have been mentioned in comments a couple of times or more! Obviously it IS possible to get to the OS from outside (either from a Linux disc or by physically taking the hard drive out and plugging it into another system) - so as to be able to place a copy of shell32 into System32...but many people wouldn't have the capability to do this. You're obviously a great technician - and this video has really helped me a lot...but leaving this small detail unclear in the description has obviously been responsible for messing up several people's systems, it would seem. I made this mistake myself...but fortunately had a dual boot system so was able to solve it that way. Not everyone will be so fortunate. I trust that a clarification will be made as ASAP?

+Mohd Amarul It's not an easy drop and replace thing. To start off, you need to download an .iso file of your current OS, then make sure you have a program that opens .iso files. Then, you are gonna have to do some ''1337 extreme haxor'' shit in cmd. (i reccommend googling that, as i cannot remember what the commands were after 9 months.) after all that, restart.

If your explorer.exe is crashed that means explorer is damaged, so if you cant do that go and reboot your pc and pres F8 and then go to boot menu, go on safe mode with comand prompt and then in comand prompt and type "sfc /scannow" when it complete scan just reboot pc again and start windows normally, it wil repair you damaged explorer and if you have windows 8 consumer preview like I it will be sucsesfully removed ! Just listen me and it will repair all damaged programs.

If you read my comment, install two OS - E.g. Windows XP and Windows 7, this would make it a lot easier to replace system files - If you needed to replace a file in Windows 7, go in to your Windows XP OS and replace the system file for Windows 7. There is a utility for disabling System File Checking. I used WinToFlash to transfer Windows 7 and Windows XP files to a USB device. My comment seems irrelevant, but I found it easier and having two OS seems better.
