re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Sunday, May 9, 2004 at 5:08 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by ma562 (2 messages posted) Alright, here's what I did and it worked: 1. Download McAffee's Stinger virus scan program, you can just save it on your desktop. 2. Turn off system restore, if you have XP. 3. Restart into Safe Mode. 4. Run Stinger. 5. Restart back into Windows. 6. It should be gone, no regkey, no winupd.exe as a running process. 7. Turn system restore back on.
