Re: [XP Home] Start and Taskbar obliterated.

I had somthing similar happen once where explorer.exe crashed and closing it put my system in the situation you described (nothing but a blank desktop).

When that happened all I had to do was double-click the background and task manager would come up. I then used it to run explorer.exe and everything would go back to normal.

Thank you IamGimli See Profile. I am running CHKDSK right now and will try your suggestion as soon as it finishes. I can't run with Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and I think I double-clicked dozens of times on the desktop out of shear frustration the last four days, but not intentionally!

Edit to add: No, this didn't work and there is still no functionality on the desktop as first posted...
