i dont find start menu and desktop

TRY Open Task Manager, find and click "New Task..." button, then type explorer.exe Taskbar and Icons missing: Try this: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/... (Original Message, and Response Number 1 looks like a fix?) Also try this: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/... and http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/... (That one is a special Posting someone made of how he fixed it.) Another fix is un-quarintene explorer in Spydoctor. ----------------------- This page has alot of XP fixes http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_... Some require the download of a VBS, or Regedits file. So, read at the top of that page-- "To use the Regedits" or "To use the VBS files" Then go to line 195, then click item in right hand column.
