Hi Mark,

Hit ctrl+shift+escape to open task manager. On the applications tab, click new task. Type 'regedit' and click ok to open the registry editor. Go to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Locate the shell entry in the right pane and double click it. Replace the contents with just:

explorer.exe

Click ok, then close the registry editor and restart the system.
