re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Tuesday, November 8, 2005 at 7:17 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Michael Abrahamsen (1 messages posted) Thanks for the work around. I was installing Kodak Easy share software, and when the install was complete, and I re-booted was the last time I saw my desktop icons, and taskbar. I was still able to open my internet connections thanks to my hot buttons on the keyboard, and the CTRL-ALT-DELETE worked as a temporary work around. Hopefully a permanent solution will be posted soon. On Saturday, November 5, 2005 at 11:09 pm, P Zeller wrote: >Not a solution to the problem, but a workaround.
