    Desktop Vanished.


    Hello! This is my fist time on a forum so ....! My icons are gone, cant pin to taskbar, can't create shortcuts, can't browse for folder selection. It all came back one day about a week ago then gone baby gone!!! Havent seen it since then. I cant "Save as" either. No way to select folders for importing either. I was thinking it was related to dwm.exe but thats as far as I got! Sure would appreciate any help!!!

    using explorer.exe's file manager gui -- c:\users\[acct name]\desktop -- that folder might still exist; does that folder still exist?

    Press CTRL ALT DELETE
    Start TASK MANAGER
    In [Applications] click the [New Task] button:
    Type: explorer.exe
    Click [OK]

    You should now have your Desktop icons back.
