While cleaning up my Start menu, I accidentally deleted my Explorer.lnk.... Therefore, I have no way to restore it since Resco expired.
Any way to recreate it or a free Explorer program in order to make a new one?

The shortcut .LNK file format is as follows:
47#\windows\wrlsmgr.exe?\windows\shellres.dll,-100
47#
The number of characters that follow after this.
\windows\wrlsmgr.exe
The program this shortcut launches.
?\windows\shellres.dll,-100
This is the icon resource and it's index within the binary. Note that this is optional is usually excluded in which case, the target .EXE's icon is used.
An easier method is to make a new shortcut is to use a text editor and create a shortcut file (xxx.lnk). You can use the FREE "PocketNotepad" (http://www.tillanosoft.com/ce/pnotepad.html).
But you can also use TotalCommander for PPC (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) which has an option "Create Shortcut" (File/>>>>>>/Create Shortcut).
