windows - Error 'shell:::{52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1}, this file has no program associated...'

In a unattended installation of Windows 8.1 x64 (where I've removed some components) the next error will occurs when I try to start the Explorer process from commandline, or doing a double-click on the explorer.exe file, or using the pinned icon on the Taskbar.

I would like to find the missing component (or something else) that is causing this error, but really I didn't removed anything related to explorer.

A messagebox with this caption appears:

shell:::{52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1}

And with a message like this (sorry for the bad translation I get the error in Spanish):

This file has no program associated to realize this action'

That GUID or CLSID 52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1 does not exists on the registry of my host OS (Windows 8), seems that is only for Windows 8.1, and I did not find any info about that GUID 'cause Google just finds two matches from Technet in an unknown language for me:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1

These are the unique keys that exists on my registry referencing that CLSID:

( Maybe you could notice and advise me of important differences from an original Windows 8.1 fresh installation)
