XP Startup

[fadeout73]

When switching computer on, no icons appear or start button. Does anyone know what the problem could be and how to rectify it.

Many thanks.

I have XP. I'm not entirely sure, myself, but if you right click on the desktop (screen) you should get a little window up which may lead you to the toolbars. Mine is ticked "Lock Toolbar".

You probably need help from someone else - not me, but it may work!

Last time this happened to me I had a Trojan.

Try ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager

Then Applications > New Task

Type in the box explorer.exe > Ok

and you should be up and running.

Then run your antispyware and see if it detects any nasties.

Thanks Paul, worked a treat.

your computer is infected by the viruses or trojans.

first download the trojan or antispyware and installed it.

scanned the computer with these softwares.


for not showing the desktop icons.

right click on the desktop select the option show desktop icons.

fro the start menu tab press alt+ctrl+del open task manager

end task the i.explorer

you will get these options.
