Looking at my registry, seems that the correct value would be simply "Explorer.exe", instead of "Explorer.exe C:\Windows\System32".
Apparently, when the key is missing, Winlogon uses Explorer as the default.

Maybe you were playing around with shell replacements, that failed to restore the correct value when uninstalling...?



As for the bombings, there's one thing that puzzles me.

It was reported on CBS News that a senior Israeli official said that British police told the Israeli Embassy in London minutes before the explosions that they had received warnings of possible terror attacks in the city. An Associated Press report carried on a number of news sites, including The Guardian, attributed the initial report of a warning to an Israeli "Foreign Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity," but added Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom's later denial on Israel Army Radio: "There was no early information about terrorist attacks." A similar report on the site of right-wing Israeli paper Israel National News / Arutz Sheva attributed the story to "Army Radio quoting unconfirmed reliable sources."
Is it me, or in most events such as this, the authorities always *seem* to have known beforehand at least *something* about what whas going to happen?
