re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Thursday, December 11, 2003 at 4:21 am Posted by pbyk (6 messages posted) Roland, PC Magazine used to have a freebie for win 98 that was called TrayManager that was supposed to restore the tray icons/shell in the event of a crash. I have it installed on my xp --i still have shell crashes, some worse than others -- ctrl+alt+del restores my shell now to enable a proper reboot. with win98 you could try a repair -- you need your win98 disk -- cant remember much more -think it is done thru add/delete function of control panel Pc Mag do not have freebies anymore -- think they want $20/year for their little gems now pbyk On Wednesday, December 10, 2003 at 10:25 pm, roland wrote: >I have a question about How >do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes: > > >I got my icons and taskbar back but everytime I reboot or shutdown I loose it again >then I have to do the same process all over to recover my icons and taskbar.

Sounds like a trojan may have attached itself to explorer.exe. Go download the trial version of Trojan Guarder. If you have a Trojan that will take care of it.

I just downloaded "trojan guarder" and it deleted some "files" it scare me coz I'm no computer wiz but I just put my trust on it. My problem still exists but I guess my computer is cleared of some virus. Another thing in mind is about those "explorer files" that doesn't have "created dates" on it when I do a "file search" are those normal?
