I can't get Internet Explorer, Trash Bin, My Computer, Network Places, Windows Explorer to work. When I click on them all of the icons on the desktop go away for a few seconds then come back and whatever I tried to load does nothing. I have reinstalled XP and done all the updates to no avail

Does anyone have any ideas

when you say you have reinatalled windows xp do you mean that you have done a full restore to factory settings and it didnt help ??? please let me know asap i am having the same problem and have no backup disk and no way to make one as i cant get into my folders. so i am gettin ready to do a full restore and count my losses just to get this fixed ....but if it doesnt work then why loose everything i have . thanks in advance please email me soon.
 
Hope you have not restored yet. Just ran across this post looking for the same fix. You can tap F8 as you reboot and boot to safe mode. Here you can explore c: drive and copy any doc. I am going to unstall any updates next. Maybe an update is causing this.
 
When you boot to safe mode go to internet options and uncheck enable third
party extensions and see if it helps.
