It maybe the explorer.exe had corrupt. Try to reinstall the IE application and reconfigure the connection setting. It should work.

explorer.exe is actually part of the operating system, not IE. You may want to run a service pack depending on which version of Windows you are running.. If you have Win95, you may need to copy a fresh version of that file from the install CD via a DOS prompt.

Otherwise try running the disk utilities..

Good Luck!

You can simply copy the explorer.exe file from another computer and overwrite the one on the affected pc. If it is nt/2000, the best way is to take the hard drive out and slave it to another pc and copy from disk to disk. If it is win95/98 you cancopy it to your boot floppy and boot the pc and copy it to the affected pc. Good Luck!
