Hello,

I have this problem already for more then 1 month and I can't find a
solution for it. I already asked this on an other board but they couldn't
give me an answer either.

Problem:

If I start up my laptop --> windows vista home premium, then I need to log
in (so I do) and then the screen turns black and I only have a box that shows
what is on my laptop.

Screenpicture:

So then I need to do this to get my background up and running --> Right
Click on C: and press "Search" and then my background shows up with Start
button and all...

I'm really tired of doing this every day so I'm desperate to find a solution
for this problem and I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance,

MoonQu33n

For starters, check this key in the Registry Editor:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In the right pane, make sure there is a REG_SZ Type with a value Name
"Shell" (no quotation marks) that has value Data "explorer.exe" (no
quotation marks).

If that looks okay, then try this after you first log on. When you're at
your almost blank Desktop, press Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard and open Task
Manager. On the Processes tab of Task Manager, if explorer.exe is running,
right-click on it and Choose End Process. If it doesn't restart
automatically, switch to the Applications tab, and from the File menu,
choose New Task. Type explorer.exe in the Run box, and press Enter on your
key board.

If explorer.exe is not running on the Processes tab, switch to the
Applications tab, and from the File menu, choose New Task. Type
explorer.exe in the Run box, and press Enter on your key board.
