You probably are looking for the path to explorer.exe in C:\Windows.

Thank you.
I found this registry key
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\File explorer]
@="File explorer"
"icon"="%windir%\\explorer.exe"
"Position"="Bottom"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\File explorer\command]
@="explorer.exe"
