Hello,
I have rebooted my Laptop normally,
I logged into Windows Vista and i was surprised by having the Desktop disappeared along with it's Icons. The programs work fine... I tried choosing a picture and setting it to a desktop background. Still nothing.
I terminated explorer.exe, The desktop appeared. but since i terminated it, the taskbar and icons are gone.
any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

You open cmd prompt and your run explorer again by writing "explorer"

Thanks but you missed my point.
I Can run anything I want using the start menu and all.
The problem is in my Desktop.
I can't Right click anything, I cant see any Icons and I can't see the wallpaper. that's the problem
