The easiest way to get your taskbar and desktop back when Explorer crashes is to simply reboot.

You reboot -- in your case -- by turning off your computer.  You may need to hold 
the power switch in for 5-10 seconds.

If you reboot and get stuck at a blank screen again, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and Windows 
Task Manager will open.  Makr sure the Applications tab at the top is selected, click 
on New Task at the bottom, type explorer in the box and click OK.  You should get 
your desktop back, at least temporarily.

I too have this problem of late. Wot was the info that u were transferring from another 
user?

I lose all icons, startbar and in addition, my task manager isnt working properly 
on my account now. Its stuck on the new task screen. No tabs at all!... executing 
explorer does nothin. If  it could execute then this problem wouldnt be happening! 
It seems that none of the necessary startup files bother to startup. Although other 
user accounts are working fine, along with task manager.  

And the strangest part of it is that when i somehow get my destop back, I am blessed 
with a 'my briefcase' folder... Which ive never had before! Wots that all about!?!?!!

Im wondering if its a screenmode problem. My problems seemed 2 start after playing 
an online game. In the game Ive changed the screenmode due 2 lag. The game has crashed 
once or twice and now im thinking that cos its crashed its cocked up or not replenished 
some settings, possibly screenmode resolution... I dunno. Just thinking/typing out 
loud. I guess I show my dersperation.


The search continues...!

Regards. Lee Culprit

Just a quick note. If explorer crashes and the taskbar does not come back the easiest way to bring it back to do a Cntl-Alt-del, in task manager cliick on file and new task. Type in the word explorer and hit enter.
