and those ones on the lower part of the START part, do
NOT response no matter how many times i double click.

I have discovered this issue this morning after running
disk defragmenter over night. As usual I restart my pc
and login but then i see this blue verticle colume(the
ones similar to the those search, history colume on the
left hand side of every window) after restarting. I right
click, to property trying to fix up the issue under where
it saids Desktop, but eventually doesnt work.

i have check the regestry data
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00021400-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}\shellex\ExtShellFolderViews\{5984FFE0-28D4-
11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}\PersistMoniker
and it should read: file://%userappdata%
\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Desktop.htt
but it didnt work

i have also tried find "ExtShellFolderViews" and i see
the ATTRIBUTE on the right hand said but the DATA read
00 00 00 20. what is the problem n how i can fix that?
thx for reading n helping

start
 Run
  regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
 Enter
Restart Windows.

I ran REGSVR32 /I SHELL32.DLL n solved the issue THANKS
however another problem arise. The other icons(other then
the MS default ones) on the desktop and those ones on the
lower part of the START part, do NOT response no matter
how many times i double click.

thx for helping again.
