Default how to roll back explorer.exe [urgent help]

Urgent HELP about explorer.exe ??
i got a serious problem.
before it was problem when i restart my pc, blank desktop comes up with no button or icon. then i have to creat new task crom Ctrl+Alt+Del and browse the explorer.exe. then desktop comes up and i use the pc. but

i tried to change the explorer.exe name from c:\windows and named it to kitharass.exe

and also renamed from regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\… NT\Current Version\Winlogon
at the shell > i renamed it kitharass.exe

now when i reboot my pc , it again comes to blank desktop.
now when i am trying to make new task of explorer.exe , it is just opening the document folder.
when i try make task for kitharass.exe it's doing the same. Start button is not coming up.

Can you please tell me how can i roll back to the explorer.exe ?

when i am trying to delete kitharass.exe it's not deleting too.

i have recorded the screen video. but i cannot attach it because it is of 56MB. but you can download it from here.
2shared - download explorer dot exe.avi
please tell me what should i do now ?

thanks in advance.
