re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Monday, November 14, 2005 at 7:47 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by peter warren (2 messages posted) This appears to have cleared the problem. I got task mgr up then started to end the non system processes one by one, after ending each process I tried to run Explorer.exe from the task manager. I was able to start explorer successfully after ending the IPMON32 and IPCLIENT processes. I then ran msconfig and removed those two processes from the start tab. Incidentally I had previously used msconfig to remove these two after getting a warning from Zone Alarm that ipmon32 was trying to monitor keystrokes. These programs are apparently used by DSL service providers to monitor connection quality and according to another search I did on them they can safely be disabled. Anyway after removing these processes from the start up my desktop icons stay put. Hope this helps On Monday, November 14, 2005 at 7:13 pm, peter warren wrote: >I have just got this problem and I do not have Norton Anti Virus - I use Zone Alarm. >My problem came after I'd been messing about in the registry and then had to restore >from the backup registry.
