I tried everything else in this newsgroup to fix my missing icons and taskbar after doing a disk cleanup, disk defrag and deletion of temp files (all in one sitting, of course!!) in XP SP2. After rebooting, I had no icons or taskbar. After a few hours of searching for solutions, I finally figured out how to do a system restore since I didn't have a Start button to begin this process!

For those of us new to finding files using the task manager:

from the windows task manager: go to File, Run
enter this... c:\documents and settings\all users.windows\start menu\programs\accessories\system restore

Restore to a point earlier than the problem occurred.

It worked like a charm!!!!! I'm glad this worked before I did a reinstall!!!
