Accessing my pictures through CMD?

I got the "Windows Explorer has stopped working" error. For me, it pops up as soon as I log into my account so I have no access to the start menu, anything at all like that.

Once I log in, it goes to a grey screen where the error pops up. Unfortunately, I hadn't been using System Restore so that's not an option for me. I don't mind reformatting, but all I really want off my hard drive are all of my pictures. I was wondering if there's any way to access my image files by running some sort of command in the CMD window.

If anyone knows a way around this, please help.

anybody?

Can't log on in safe mode?

nope, it pops up in safe mode also. i've thought of just about everything.

Try opening cmd and typing "Start explorer" with no quotes int he command prompt.

Microsoft will hate me for this, but what I'd do is order Ubuntu and either install it on another partition, or use the live disk to save what files you want onto a flash and just reinstall Windows.
