Windows explorer, desktop icons and task bar are missing

[droletn]

Same problem as Philippe : I have Windows XP Home ; Windows explorer
is missing , and also the desktop icons and the taskbar, and the right
click. My son hit on the idea to use the Task manager to access the
content of my computer and so be able to navigate , but anyway , what
is going on ? what is the solution ?
I have run my anti virus and my anti spyware and the chekdisk , and a
previous restoration point , still the same problem .

A tip I saw from another user: If you are using Internet Explorer 7 with
addons, try disabling those and then restart.

However, if everything else fails, you may have to reinstall. A clean
install is best. See:

Ok that is as it should be. First use my free Remove-it software, choose yes
for all options. Next use my Explorer Shell Fix tool. Your system will
reboot. Download both here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm

Advanced towards you? HA HA HA - you create and post links about me and
others, filthy pornographic links, on YOUR WEBSITE, you even stalk me by
creating a domain name about me, and you claim I'm stalking your sorry
little person?

The fact is that your a sad little man, one that strongly appears to
pirate code from other people/vendors and then edit it to show your name
and then you take credit for the works and never give the real authors
credit for it.

The fact is that you are completely shunned by the anti-malware
community, you are looked on as a thief and pirate by all reputable
people in the community, you have posted links to your website that
contain filthy pornographic materials that you have proudly claimed you
created (which appear to also have been stolen from sites).....

Not one reputable person will come to vouch for you, and you want to
claim I made "advanced" towards you.... More of your delusional crap
Chris.

The link to the site that shows the links you've posted to Usenet are in
my Sig for all to see, links that YOU POSTED taking claim for the
content that is very nasty.

Ah, yes. The LITTLE boys are at it again. Try e-mail for your spats and save
everyone else some bandwidth.
