Failure to load start up menu and desktop icons

[Guest]

After a normal shutdown of WindowsXP home edition, on startup, the start menu and desktop icons will not load. Using Task ManagerI can access all disk contents and many of the programs function including netwrok links. However, I can receive internet messages about updates but Internet Explorer will not load. Outlook loads but will not connect to server. All disk programs can be viewed but cannot access Control Panel. System restore accessed through cmd/msconfig functions but system restore program will not load. Anyway to restore start program etc.
