This error message has been coming up on my computer since the windows upgrade 2 nights ago. I really prefer Firefox as my Explorer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, shut down and restarted and still get this error. Even after the reinstall. Please help. I really want you back on my computer.

I did some research and found that the file belongs to Windows. I suggest posting your question with Microsoft.

Please let us know what happens, and post a link to your question on Microsoft here so we can follow it.
