for your problem you need to run the repair on IE on all desktop including the default 
desktop the default desktop is the desktop you get when you depress the cancel button 
when you logon if you are using a mutli-user platform... I have found this to be 
a problem when I create a new desktop because IE doesn't write the registry correctly 
when you install it....

I have started a web site for puter tune up you can read about it there the pages 
are just notes right now adding the bells as I go I have found a few programs that 
will restore the icon's in the tray after you restart the explorer desktop but if 
the programs have a few lines of code that says this app can ony have on instance 
 it look like an error but is not,,, just bad for my users to see... even though 
you restart the explorer the programs are still running you just loose the icon in 
the tray.. unless it was the problem program... the explorer is just a program that 
runs on top of windows just like any other program... it what let you manuver around 
the puter with the mouse. it is just an input area.. no big deal if it gets reset 
--- you can reset it now if you want just go ctrl alt del and end task explorer you 
will get the log off screen just wait a few and the end task screen will come up 
click end task and the explorer will restart...
