Desktop Icons and System Start Tray missing

[Icons and Start Menu Missing]

..
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, turn on the Show Desktop Icons
feature:
Right-click the desktop.
Point to Arrange Icons By.
Click Show Desktop Icons.

So what are my other options if I am not able to right-
click on my desktop (nothing happens)?

Thanks,

David

Hi,

Restore Desktop Icons and Taskbar (Line 195)

Note: Do not reboot or logoff. Once the edit is merged, right click the
Notification Area/Task Manager/Processes. Highlight Explorer.exe, End
Process.

Leave the Task Manager open. Once the process has ended, choose File/New
Task and type in: Explorer.exe.
