missing icons and taskbar

Please help....
In past few days when I open windows explorer or access "add/remove" from control panel, all the icons on my desktop and the taskbar will vanish. I cannot access any file from the windows explorer. I can however access the taskmanager using ctrl+shift+esc or ctrl+alt+del.
I even set up another user and the problem still persists.
