Did you use a tweak program like WinBoost to disable it. Mabey you can use Winboost to turn it back on.
no nothing. the computer just restarted and could not see my desktop :o
really... hmm...
Alright. This is weird you need to do a system check after this.
When you use the run command type "explorer" or explorer.exe both should work. That will bring back your explorer.
And if there is no access to a command prompt, control alt delete and use taskmanager/applications/new task/explorer.exe
still nothing. this really sucks
hold down either F2 or F8 and boot into SafeMode, run Norton if you have, then restart I had the same problem and this fixed it. Even if you don't run Norton just boot up using Safe Mode than restart
Also make sure there are no CD's, disks in your drives.
if all that doesn't work try unplugging USB shit
looks something like this

If that's your task manager, the bottom right button is new task. Click on it and browse to explorer.exe
It should bring up the taskbar and icons. If not, you might be screwed.
^ does't work :o . How to restart in safemode please :(
After the drives are detected, Hold f8 while it boots
thank you hope it works :D
Your windows is FUBAR if your explorer.exe is deleted.
if you cant get all that stuff to work, just try reinstalling xp.
it ventuer to say it was a virus, so he needs to do a full reformat, not just a reinstall of windows
f-disc is your only hope
