Can't find IExplorer.exe on my system.
Hi, I may have missed it, but can you tell us the Windows 10 release you are using? Also, is there an absolute need to use IE? Let’s check one more place: go to Settings (Windows+I)/Apps/Default Apps.

Hi, Try running Internet Explorer from Run dialog (open Run, type “iexplore” (without quotes) and press Enter). Do this if you are ready to deal with vast implications. Cheers, Joseph

updating to Windows 10 2004
Hi, I advise moving to Office 2013 or 2016 at the earliest, as Office 2003 is no longer supported. Office 2010 won't quite cut it anymore as support for it ends this year. Cheers, Joseph
