My IEXPLORE.EXE file is lost

Hi, Group, hope someone can help me.


I've developed a serious problem as the result of a virus, I think.
I think my Freedom Anti-Virus program may have deleted a file it couldn't
disinfect. The file, iexplore.exe, has been deleted, or something. I still
have my Netscape browser but many of my files need Explorer to open.
I reinstalled my Win98SE, hoping the Internet Explorer would be reinstalled,
also. This did not happen.
I downloaded IE6 from Microsoft but I couldn't complete the operation. I was
advised, by a pop up board, that I would have to clear my IE cache. I fail
to understand how I can do that since I'm unable to access IE.
If you have a solution to this problem I will be delighted.
TIA,
Leo

You only need to post it once. Try downloading and reinstalling Internet
Explorer.

Greetings,
It's not a fix but this will give you access to iexplore.exe.
Go to start, search and type in iexplore.exe. It most likely is in the system
somewhere. When it is found create a shortcut to your desktop.
I had this same problem due to a flurry of deleting by me. In other words I
caused my own problems.
A few nights later I reinstalled win 98 and all was well again. I fixed the
problem but have no idea how.

Tried search. No iexplore.exe file found.
Thanks, Richard.
