I looked through the posts, but could not find anything. My computer seemed fine until I turned it on today and discovered that the Desktop Icons and toolbar had disappeared. I can open programs and the internet using the task manager but the desktop is inactive. Everything I found on the internet said to right click the desktop, but that does not give me the drop down menu. I also found pages that said to go to Start-Run-and different commands, but I have no start because the menu/toolbar is gone. I use windows XP home edition. Any help Would be greatly appreciated.
On your keyboard between ctrl and alt press that key and your start up menu should re materialise for you
When I try to do anything on the desktop, nothing happens but I can access all programs through the task manager.
Try to right click on that bar thingy where it shows the files are open. then it should say : Show Desktop.
