Desktop Functionality Lost in Power Outage
Hello everyone, I've had Windows 7 Evaluation copy (Build 7100, x64 edition) installed for a while now and it has worked great--I really like it! However, this morning I had a quick 5 second power outage, and when I booted my PC the desktop no longer worked! All of the icons I had on desktop are gone, the only thing that is there is my background picture. I cannot left-click/drag on desktop, but I can right-click on desktop like usual (and the normal shortcuts menu appears as normal). If I try to add anything to desktop, nothing shows up though (it's there if I browse to Desktop through Windows Explorer though). It's acting almost acting as if I had closed down explorer.exe (except the bottom task tray bar is still there and it works just fine).
Anybody have any ideas on how to get my desktop working again? I can create another user account and the desktop works great on there, but I had my account customized quite a bit so I'd hate to have to set everything in a new account.
