My Explorer has suddenly stopped displaying. If I double-click the Icon, I see an hourglass briefly displayed, and then nothing. No Task Bar Indications, no window, no anything.

I can tell that Explorer is running because it appears as active under Task Manager, I just can't see it anywhere. Also, if I repeadely click the icon, I can see multiple instances running in Task Manager, just no display.

Shortcut properties allow the program to start in Normal Window, Maximized, and Minimized, but all 3 produce the same results.

This suddenly started last night, and no amount of rebooting or anything else helps.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanx:

Tom Ponta
