Solved my icons and taskbar disappear, plus cannot even access to the Start

Hello all,
My icons from my desktop disappeared along with the task bar and start menu.

Either you've altered a view configuration, or you've gotten yourself some malware. Download an application called "unhide", and you'll get what you want. Don't just alleviate symptoms in the event of malware though, make sure you assess that, if that's what it is...
