problems booting

recall SG

hey guys can help me find out why when i boot my desktop, it manages to get to the main screen but no icons appear.

is there a way to rectify this problem thanks

can u see the taskbar? the on with the 'Start' button
if cannot, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (opens Task Manager) ---> 'File' ---> 'New Task (Run...)' ---> type "explorer.exe" inside without the quotes ---> 'Ok'

recall SG

there is no start menu, but how does it fix my computer

try stopping explorer.exe

The start menu disappears

So I guess what wishboy is suggesting is the reverse of it...

Did you read everything before posting?

If there's no Start menu, wishboy suggested another method.

Get explorer.exe up and running first.
