re: frozen start menu and icons Monday, October 24, 2005 at 12:53 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jcw (5124 messages posted) 1) If you boot into safe mode and open Task Manager, can you start Windows Explorer by typing   EXPLORER   in the New Task... box under TM's File menu?   If yes, can you then do anything in Explorer, or is it frozen? 2) Are you able to boot into safe mode with command prompt?  Does the command prompt window open?  Can you type a command in it which is then carried out?  For example, if you type at the command prompt:   START TASKMGR.EXE   and then press Enter, does your Task Manager open?
