For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Is explorer.exe one of the processes running? If not you can start this to get your desktop back then look in the event log for any application failures. This may give you a clue as to why it is not running. There is a Microsoft document similar to this but it was written for Windows 2000 see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;
