Try something here:
Desktop Icons and the Taskbar Fail to Load at Startup
This problem may be fixed by using one of these 4 repairs.
(1) Restore a Missing "userinit" Registry Value:
1. Copy below and paste into Notepad:
----------copy inside only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Userinit"="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\userinit.exe,"
----------copy inside only----------
2. If your Windows is not on drive C: replace C: with your Windows
drive letter and Save-As Userinit.reg (or any name + .reg).
3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.
4. Restart.
(2) Delete an Incorrect "Explorer.Exe" Entry in the Registry:
1. Open the Run box and enter: regedit
2. Go to this key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options]
3. If you see "explorer.exe" as a subkey below, delete it.
4. Restart.
(3) Restore a Missing "explorer.exe" Entry in the Registry:
1. Copy below and paste into Notepad:
----------copy inside only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="explorer.exe"
----------copy inside only----------
2. Save-As WinLogon.reg (or any name + .reg).
3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.
4. Restart.
(4) Exlorer.exe is Missing:
If explorer.exe is not in C:\WINDOWS\ then insert your Windows CD and, using the 'Task Manager' (File -> New Task), run the 'System File Checker' utility with this command: sfc /scannow
If the 'System File Checker' didn't replace it, boot to the Recovery Console with the Windows CD and copy explorer.exe manually:
1. Insert the Windows CD and restart.
2. When setup begins, choose the "Repair or Recover" option by pressing "R".
3. Once at the command prompt, enter:
expand D:\i386 /F:EXPLORER.EX_ C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /y
(D: is the CD drive letter, C: is the Windows partition, change if necessary
4. To exit the Recovery Console, type: exit.
If the desktop still does not load then, from within the Task Manager, run a new
task to open the Registry Editor:
regedit.exe
and check the registry data from above, adding as necessary if it is missing or incorrect.

Hello there. I woke up this morning and started my computer and then my desktop would not load and just show my wallpaper.
I opened the task manager, and ended explorer.exe and then went to new task and put explorer.exe. Everything loaded fine.
It's a minor problem, but it should load automatically shouldn' it?
This problem happened after I installed Spyware Doctor. I thought it was the problem, but after I uninstalled it the desktop still would not load. Coincidence?
Anyway, I tried restoring the computer to a point where it worked through System Restore. Upon restart, the desktop still would not load and then when I ran explorer, I get a message saying "Restoration Incomplete" It said no changes were made to my computer and it could not restore.
Any suggestions?
