When Win2k boots there is no Desktop. Run Task manager
stop explorer, run new task explorer and the desktop
opens.
Any suggestions?????????
 
Check that explorer.exe is the default shell to start. Look at the Reg_Sz
string value of;
"Shell"="Explorer.exe"
found at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Else these may help you.

You might try creating a new user and then logon as the new user. To get
there you can;
Task Manager|File|New Task|%windir%\system32\lusrmgr.msc
 
Task manager says there is no such file|%windir%\system32
\lusrmgr.msc.???

From a command prompt you can expand a new copy of the file from your CD-Rom

expand E:\I386\lusrmgr.ms_ %windir%\system32\lusrmgr.msc

or try
Task Manager|File|New Task|%windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc
