I have a question about How 
do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes:


I have been checking this site and it is quite helpful, but for this particular question 
I can't find a solution, as my current operating system is Windows Me and I can't 
find a solution for that one.

Anyway, everytime I start the computer nothing shows up save for the desktop and 
mouse pointer which moves. The task manager displays no icons except if I were to 
wait a few minutes it mentions 'Startmngr' (or something like it, sorry I'm not at 
home to remember the exact spelling) caused an error. I know the problem is that 
Explorer crashed but I'm not sure how I can go about fixing this problem.

The computer will not let me restore a back up copy of the registry when I try to 
do so (leaving me with 'operation failed' or an error). I am sorry if I am posting 
this in the wrong fashion; it is urgent, as I do need this particular computer for 
a class project. I would like to try and find a solution (if possible) before I resort 
to reinstalling everything or bringing in the computer for service. Any help would 
be gladly appreciated! Thanks.
