re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Saturday, April 13, 2002 at 10:28 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mt (1 messages posted) After hours of searching on the Web this is the only thread that approximates the problem I'm having. Suddenly I have no desktop or taskbar. Like someone else, I also find that: >1. Folder Options will NOT work from the icon in control panel, but will work from >the tools menu. >Tried: >1. Searching for taskbar on all edges of screen. >2. Ctrl Esc. (doesn't work) >3. Windows key (doesn't work) And after repeated tries to run explorer, as recommended, I get only the MyDocuments folder but no desktop or taskbar. Any help greatly appreciated.
