Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes'

I have a question about How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes:

I have a similar problem to the one listed in the article. On log-in into windows xp, my wallpaper appears but nothing else. No taskbar, no icons. I don't think this is due to a crash of explorer because when I check with ctrl-alt-delete, it's still running. The only way I found to make everything appear is to close a random process (I usually close winupd.exe). Thene everything goes back to normal. However, I'd like to not have to do this every time. I checked for viruses, and while I found 1, a trojan, I got rid of it and repaired the damages, following symantec's instructions. Plus, my problem has nothing to do with the symptoms described for the virus. Could anyone help me ? Thank you, Xavier
