I have just started up my laptop, windows starts and then all I get is a
blank desktop with no icons just the wallpaper. What can I do to solve the
problem?
 
try pressing ctl+al+del

then launch a new task
called:

explorer.exe

I had this happened to me on a laptop running vista. It turns out that
one laptop power setting would turn off everything on desktop.
Choosing the regular or performance turns it back on. I don't have the
laptop to check the exact program for this. It should be in one of the
control panels.

Right click a blank area of the desktop and place a check
next to "Show Desktop Icons" in the drop-down menu.
