[jim]

Right-click desktop

View --> Show desktop icons

Is that ticked?

Do you have a taskbar showing?

[antec74]

yes thats ticked and there is no taskbar

[jim]

Have you tried alt-ctrl-delete, bringing up the task manager, then file --> new task (run) --> type "explorer" --> click ok

[jim]

If explorer is already open then end the task before running a new one

Try right clicking on the start button, then clicking on properties.

The under the Start Menu tab, click customise, then click Use Default Settings near the bottom.

Hopefully that will sort it
