Nothing looks out of place there.

Please download RootRepeal Rootkit Detector and save it to your Desktop.

* Close all programs and temporarily disable your anti-virus, Firewall and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan.
* Click this link to see a list of such programs and how to disable them.
* Create a new folder on your hard drive called RootRepeal (C:\RootRepeal) and extract (unzip) RootRepeal.zip. (click here if you're not sure how to do this. Vista users refer to this link.)
* Open the folder and double-click on RootRepeal.exe to launch it. If using Vista, right-click and Run as Administrator...
* Click on the Files tab, then click the Scan button.
* In the Select Drives, dialog Please select drives to scan: select all drives showing, then click OK.
* When the scan has completed, a list of files will be generated in the RootRepeal window.
* Click on the Save Report button and save it as rootrepeal.txt to your desktop or the same location where you ran the tool from.
* Open rootrepeal.txt in Notepad and copy/paste its contents in your next reply.
* Exit RootRepeal and be sure to re-enable your anti-virus, Firewall and any other security programs you had disabled.

Note: If RootRepeal cannot complete a scan and results in a crash report, try repeating the scan in "Safe Mode".

Open the registry editor and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer

If there's a value "NoDesktop" with a data value of 1 change it to 0.

There is no value "NoDesktop"

There is (Default), HonorAutoRunSettting, NoDriveAutoRun, NoDrives, NoDriveTypeAutoRun

and a subfolder labeled run with only (Default)
And ActiveDesktop under policies only has (Default)

Look in this directory:

C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

Find the file named explorer.exe

Copy the file and paste it into the following directory:

C:\WINDOWS

Then reboot.

Ok. I figured out the problem. I recently began using Online Armor as my firewall. Somehow it was preventing explorer.exe from opening or a part of it from opening. I uninstalled Online Armor and the Start button, task bar and desktop icons all came back.

Hooray!! I was pulling my hair out over this problem.

Thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate all the time and energy you put in to help me. You are why this site is great for us computer illiterates.

Thanks again.

I'm glad you figured it out. I was beginning to pull my hair out also!
