No icons on desktop, no start button, no task bar

Things went good to the point of clicking on image file execution options. There was no (entry) explorer.exe in the list. I followed the suggested path on my computer and could not find this entry either. Appreciate your suggestions and time. Thanks Ed

Nothing on screen to allow me to do anything, only way into computer is through task manager (cont-alt-delete). This will allow me access to some programs but I can not get to system restore points which I think will correct the problem.
