Hi.

For several weeks I have been trying to solve a problem on a family members desktop computer.

The scenario is as follows:

User clicks on their profile and their custom background appears. From here, the taskbar and desktop icons do not appear automatically and the user must open task manager and manually launch the process 'explorer.exe' to force the desktop to appear correctly.

The problem occurs with all the profiles on the computer and there is nothing in the event log to suggest that there is a problem.

Could someone help me out?

Perform a Windows Repair on it.

Use this link to Kelly's Korner. Go to line 195 on the right side (restore desktop icons and taskbar). Double click and install the file. At the top of the page there are instructions for different file types installation.
