I spent 5 days to solve this problem

Ctr + Alt + Delete // File - New Task (run...) //

explorer.exe

// OK
This will show your desktop icons but not solve the problem
To solve it just do this steps

1- copy explorer.exe from other clean computer (from C:\WINDOWS)
2- in your computer go to C:\WINDOWS
3- show hidden files from (Tools - Folder Options - View - Show hidden files and folders)
4- delete explorer.exe and any other files start with explorer...
5- put the new file (explorer.exe)
6- log off or restart
7- log on

Congratulation your desktop healthy now

Under Task Manager use File Run Explore.exe

Then create a new profile when this is done. Sounds like you had a virus.

Good luck

hey man I liked what you have suggested but it's serious problem regarding companies....so are you sure that after creating new profile problem will solve?
Because I noticed this problem on my company's vise president's laptop, that's why this is serious, I was going to format system.
i'm also sure that he is having virus in system. But creating profile will be far better than formatting.
Reply as soon as possible, I mean really it's a solution, or have you tried it, because if this will not solve the problem then he will shout that why didn't I formatted as it will take time for once only.
Thank you....
