One cause of that symptom is not having explorer.exe running.

Check with Task Manager's Processes tab. E.g. press Ctrl-Alt-Delete

to enter TM. You can use TM to start a new copy of explorer.exe too.

Posting in an XP newsgroup may be more appropriate.

Cross-posting to one for convenience. Assuming the web portal you are

using to access this newsgroup hosts the other one too, just click on the

link in the header of my reply to switch between them.

Desktop missing:

 

Check that this Registry key is correct and that 'userinit.exe' is in folder:

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"Userinit"="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\userinit.exe,"

(Live Search at Microsoft.com for

userinit

)

<quote>

Specifies the programs that Winlogon runs when a user logs on. By default,

Winlogon runs Userinit.exe, which runs logon scripts, reestablishes network

connections, and then starts Explorer.exe, the Windows user interface.

</quote>

 

Interesting. So, if this hadn't run would Ctrl-Alt-Delete still start the

Task Manager, thus allowing the manual starting of explorer.exe

I mentioned?

 

 

TIA
