It looks like you have some damage to the registry - resulting in the desktop not being built during startup. I suggest you go to this site and download script 195 (Restore Desktop Icons and Taskbar) It will put back the missing registry items. Follow his instructions carefully. Good Luck

Run regedit from the task manager, and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Locate the shell entry in the right pane and double click it. Replace the
contents with just:

explorer.exe

eg: "Shell"="Explorer.exe" as a key

Accept changes, restart, and all should be good
