No Icons or Taskbar, just blank desktop.
I started up my computer to find that there were no icons or taskbar, just the desktop background, as the title states.
I've tried multiple solutions to no avail including, restarting multiple times, using the Windows Repair disk, verifying regedit values and restarting explorer.exe multiple times.
At first, I thought it was a problem with explorer, so I ran it in Run.
Nothing.
I saw that explorer was running in task manager (I have access to the ctrl+alt+del menu).
I ended the process and restarted explorer. Nothing happened.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, they would be GREATLY appreciated. The only other solution I have is to do an active recovery, which I REALLY don't want to do.
Thanks a lot.
