Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: I have lost all icons and start menu functions Saturday, January 29, 2005 at 7:56 pm Posted by Robert Lamoreaux (324 messages posted) I fixed this on a HP by hitting F10 at boot and doing an HP restore. You could also try cmd=>sfc /scannow or do a repair from the XP CD. On Saturday, January 29, 2005 at 3:52 pm, Derek wrote: >I have lost all icons on my desktop and cannot access the start menu.

I don't know if XP can even start up without a functioning explorer.exe, but I know for sure that you can kill explorer after booting to produce the effect that you (and some of those that responded) are complaining about. You can see what I mean on a functional XP machine: (warning: read through before attempting) Hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the Task Manager. Click onto the Processes tab Find and highlight "explorer.exe" in the list of processes (you might want to click on "Image Name" at the top to list them in alphabetical order so as to find it more easily). Click "End Process", then "Yes" on the popup warning message. You'll notice that the Start Menu, Taskbar, and desktop icons have disappeared, but any programs you have previously loaded are still there. To restore them select "File", "New Task(Run...)", then type "explorer" (without the quotation marks), and hit enter. This will reload explorer.exe and your icons, start menu, taskbar etc will reappear. For those struggling with this issue it seems to me that one easy way to test this would be to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the Task Manager, then select the Processes tab and look to see if explorer.exe is there. If you can't find it, then that's the cause of your problem. You could then try to load it manually as I instructed above. If that doesn't work, it may be that the file itself has become corrupted or deleted and you'll need to replace it somehow (via system repair or reinstallation of the operating system etc.) I suppose it's also possible that some kind of virus is preventing explorer.exe from loading, so it might behoove you to run an anti-virus and adware/spyware scan before attempting anything drastic. If this isn't related, then you have my condolences. ;_( -Ben On Saturday, January 29, 2005 at 3:52 pm, Derek wrote: >I have lost all icons on my desktop and cannot access the start menu.

It has been a real pain because i can not do anything for there is no icons or start menu or anything at the bottom of the screen thats blue. Unfortunately i had left my computer on mute before the problem and could not hear a sound > Control Panel is impossible to access. However, i was able to fix that through Windows media player using some long twisted way. I can't do searches that are found on the start menu. I tried a system restore that didn't work and the explorer idea only made the bottom blue thing appear for a fraction of a second, much like many other programs that i try to open do and also in the processes there are two "IEXPLORER.EXE" I cannot right-click just on the desktop but can in windows of other programs. If there is any way for my computer to return to its original state please can someone help me!!

I attempted to open up my resourses for the computer. Add/Remove...Control Panel/System/Advanced/Settings/.... Turn off all but, the last and third to last. "Use common tasks in folders" and "Use visual styles on windows and buttons". Those two seem to keep windows XP at standard. Also goto Start/Run "msconfig" and disable most from "Services" and "Startup". The ones needed are up to what you do on the computer. (Graphics if you game)...now MSN and Yahoo or other chat programs, must be shutdown within the program, they will "Load on startup" when you load them the first time after shutting them off through "msconfig", they will load on startup. So the problem was resourses. You ran low and your computer pulls fetures of 98/ME/XP. It has done it since windows became an o/s.

My exact problem came about after i played an mmo game that had a glitch and made my pc freeze. On the restart i saw that i ve lost all communication with my desktop.No icons, no right click at the desktop,no windows toolbar and no start button. By searching the forums i came about a solution.I thought that if this wont work i will need to format and re-install windows. The solution worked and after i rebooted everything went back to normal.I was a bit hesitant on whether it will make the situation worse but it worked. The solution to this is the following: Bring up registry editor via the task manager (type regedit and Enter) There are 2 registry keys in the registry that are causing the problem. It affects the explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe files. This are the keys that need to be deleted... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplorer.exe Once these keys are deleted the desktop and internet explorer should come back to life. To be honest i run a modified windows xp pro version and the iexplorer.exe was not found cause i didnt install it in the first place, so i just deleted the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe After i erased the folder looking icon in Image File Execution Options i rebooted and everything got back to its normal state.I want to thank robbieart for providing the solution (he also got it from someone else but thats how the net works eheheh) It worked like a charm for me i hope it does the same for you.

No start/Task bar but I did have a few Icons available. I had installed another graphic card giving me another monitor output, when this is done windows installs multiple monitor support. I only added the card for better resolution on my new monitor verses the on-board output. Anyway when this is done windows had a setting (option) in the display properties for one of the monitors that if checked it would extend my desk top to the other monitor, well I only have one monitor connected and it wasn't designated as the number 1 monitor. I unchecked the box "Extend my windows desktop to this monitor" and that fixed my problem. I don't know how it got that way because the only thing I did when it happened was opened the case and took out my CD and DVD re-right drives to get model numbers to update drivers. This setting can be found by right click an open area on the desktop then choose "Properties" then "Settings" tab then choose a monitor to view its' properties and remove the check box applicable "Extend my windows desktop to this monitor" only one of them will have it available with 2 monitor capability.
