    Where you're library appears on the start menu, simply drag it to the desktop where it will appear as a strange icon. When you drag it to the taskbar it turns into the same icon as before.

    Thanks everyone for the help. I tried a system restore, but that didn't work ("unspecified error"). I then did a repair install, which just completed. That seems to have been successful and I now have a pinned copy of explorer on the taskbar again.

    I have created a restore point manually. I have created a Windows Backup system image. I am in business again.

    Now on to upgrading the server machine and the netbook!
