Here's how to fix this issue:
Assuming no other viruses / adware / spyware / malware are interfering, the Windows desktop should load fine now.

- 1. CTRL-Alt-Del to bring up Task Manager.
- 2. Click File | New Task(run).
- 3. Type regedit in the Run box and click OK.
- 4. Browse to the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution.options
- 5. Under this key there will be subkeys named explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe. Delete the explorer and iexplorer keys entirely. They should not be listed under the Image File Execution.Options key.
- 6. Close the Registry Editor.
- 7. Restart the computer.

I followed your instructions and I don't have them listed there - thus is there anything else you could suggest? Unfortunately my puter was preloaded, so I dont' even have a "restore, repair or reinstall" CD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can work everything through Task Manager - although I have some programs that click out when the icons go.
