Suddently my task bar, the side bar and all destop icons disapeared, the background is black, if i change the background it disapears after re-boot. After start up, a window opens with my destop folder opened. If I try to open "task bar and start menu", a "windows explorer doesn't work" windows appears.
Does anyone know a solution for this

I had the same problem with a customer's computer and solved it by creating a new account with administrator privileges and copying everything over from C:\Users\"Present Account" to C:\Users\"New Account Name". Once that is done, select the "New Account Name" at the boot menu. If everything is fixed, you can delete your "Present Account."

I offered you a possible solution, not a reason for the problem. I never pursued the matter further when I fixed the problem. Try Googling missing Icons and you might find the reason for the problem.
