Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to
Item No. 195 (right column), click on "Restore Desktop Icons and
Taskbar".

Install the registry fix, then reboot your computer.

|   Here is one for you wizards.
|   This happened to me about a month ago and I reformatted 
| and started at square one. It just happened again this 
| morning.
|   I swear it happened before after an Update was installed 
| and this morn I got the Media Player update and installed 
| it. When I rebooted, I have just my Wallpaper, no Icons, 
| No task bar, nothing, if I right click, I get nothing. I 
| F8 ed into the Safe Mode and then tried to restore from a 
| point prior to updates, NOTHING. I mean it just sits there 
| with NO ICONS no TASK BAR just my wall paper, although the 
| Screensaver WILL kick in after the proper amount of time. 
|   I am at work and any help would be much appreciated. My 
| computer is only 16 months old, was expensive and all has 
| been fine, until recently. 
|    Thanks
