XPPro SP2...john If it happens again, try Task Manager (CTRL ALT DEL), then File, New Task, Run > Explorer. This worked for me the one time I lost the Explorer and Desktop icons. Technically it is Windows Explorer that "dissapears" not the Desktop. One possibly significant thing when my crash occured was that I had just enabled a picture on the Desktop, I used to just have a single colour.

It gave me so much trouble back in the day I shut it off and never have looked back. ;-) Alinator ID: 602342 ·
