Windows 7 Ultimate x86 RC Build 7100/ unexpected failure with Windows Explorer (explorer.exe)

when I’m running it from the Desktop shortcut or directly from the Windows Directory.

The following Error Message appears (see img below):

"THIS FILE DOES NOT HAVE A PROGRAM ASSOCIATED WITH IT FOR PERFORMING
THIS ACTION. PLEASE INSTALL A PROGRAM OR, IF ONE IS ALREADY INSTALLED,
CREATE AN ASSOCIATION IN THE DEAFAULT PROGRAMS CONTROL PANEL."

I didn’t find any references to the Windows Explorer In the CP Default Programs Section, except for the
Windows Search Explorer (see img below):


Repeated setting the Search Explorer as a default application didn’t resolve the problem.

Any ideas helping to fix this strange failure would be appreciated.
