Windows 2000 explorer.exe not running

[Alla]

Out of the blue, after I logon no desktop and explorer.exe not running.
Tried to start it from Task Manager, nothing happened.
Tried renaming shdocvw.dll and the rest specified in microsoft 256194 article.

I have a laptop with windows 2000 prof

Check that explorer.exe is the default shell to start. Look at the Reg_Sz
string value of;
"Shell"="Explorer.exe"
found at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

The profile may also be corrupt or these may help you.

Checked the registry and "Shell"="Explorer.exe" is the way it should be
in

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
