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

I have worked on my friend's computer for about 2 hours now and to no avail. Windows
loads up, but it only displays the wallpaper, with no right-clicking available, no
start menu...nothing. I ctrl+alt+deled and have worked with task manager and msconfig
quite a bit. I tried the aforementioned tip to run "explorer", but nothing seemed
to happen when I ran it. No "explorer" in the Processes window. I figure that is
the problem. Not sure how else to load it up.

I discovered the solution. Go to regedit. Then delete these keys :
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution
Options\iexplorer.exe
and
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution
Options\explorer.exe
3. Reboot.
Enjoy!

Suppose you have this problem and on top of this it says 'Task Manager has been disabled
by the Administrator.'

I followed your instructions, but after reaching Image File Execution Options, I
cannot locate any explorer.exe or iexplorer.exe
Please help, this is so frusterating.
