How to get Windows Explorer back after multiple change of file manager?

3

A few months ago I shifted from Windows Explorer to Explorer++ and then Cubic Explorer. This messed up my registry, and I cant get Windows Explorer back now. It works if I run from Start Menu but not when I click desktop icons like My Computer, Recycle Bin, etc. If unregister Cubic explorer from registry and try to open any desktop icons I get Error as EXPLORER.EXE "Application not found".

How can I get Windows Explorer back?

Run Microsoft System File Checker (sfc /scannow) in an administrative command prompt.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833
