you might try opening the task
manager and killing the process
called explorer.exe

then launch it again as a new
task.

Right click on desktop, select "Arrange Icons By" then make sure the
box for "Show desktop icons" is checked.

It's a damned poor mind that can only
think of one way to spell a word.

Its not this easy mate. Mouse as well as keyboard will stop working at
this stage. Your solution can't work.

Do you only see your background image? That is not quite the same (to
me) as the desktop not being loaded.

If this is the case there is generally malicious software afoot.

You need to get your desktop working, then you can resolve your
potential malware issue.

From your background image, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.

Look at the Processes tab and if the explorer.exe process is not
running, launch it.

Click File, New Task and in the box enter:

%windir%\explorer.exe

Click OK and see if you get your desktop back.

If explorer.exe is already running, it is likely the object of the
affliction and may need to be replaced (not hard).

It explorer.exe is running, End the Process anyway and launch a new
one as indicated above.

Report back for what to do next.
