i couldnt reply to 'old' msg..sooo...

i had this problem of a 'lost desktop' too.
all i had was the windows wallpaper, no start menu.

this happens sometimes when i run spybot s+d, and reboot.

there's a program called shell enabler that will put the explorer.exe shell entry back in the registry [as well as use other shells].

you can ALSO edit the registry [winlogon\"and put it back in.

well, this happened today, and none of those things worked, even though those things have worked in the past.

here's how i fixed it today;
in winxp, reboot,
+ hold down f8
+ select last known good config that worked.
+ pray to god you dont have to reinstall.

enjoy winblows,
