Missing Desktop Icons and Start up Menu Task Bar in Windows 7 - HELP!

Hi everyone

I am searching this problem I am having over the last few days. It is very very frustrating now.


I have Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 32 bit
My Desktop Icons and Start Up Task Bar are missing

I have tried everything -
Task Manager - Type explorer.exe
Check regedit but didnt find anything there
Run Malwarebyte NO use
Used HiJackthis NO use

After Windows boot and splash, all I get is a black screen with Explorer Window showing C D E Drives.

Then after searching everywhere possible in the internet, I had one suspicion. In Control Panel, when I click Task Bar and Menu, and Folder Option Icon, they DO Not Open. All others do open. I think they are disabled there in Task Bar and Menu by Virus??

I have lot of work pending on my Laptop and this is so frustrating now... please HELP any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your time

Try this SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Thanks for replying

I did that too. no results

Safe Mode also gave same thing. NO Desktop and Startup Menu


I will upload the explorer.exe and check now and here is the result

File name:
explorer.exe
Detection ratio: 0 / 39


Thanks for your reply again. Btw, why do you think I cannot click Folder Option and Start Menu Task bar Icon in Control panel? Maye that is the clue??
