I just replaced the hdd on my laptop, dell inspiron n4010. Reinstalled win 7 home premium. Started to reload programs. Everything went great, all of a sudden, the icons on the desktop, except for the recycle bin disappeared. I cannot create new shortcuts or use the control panel any more without the computer pausing and eventually showing the error code
::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683} Server Execution Failed. I click ok and a new error box pops up. This is titled Explorer.exe and says Server Execution failed.
Looking elsewhere, it looks like the user profile is corrupt, however I am unable to create a new user profile. I can access cmd.
Some programs do run from the start menu and the dell dock.
