Good Luck, Ayush.
I used to click on explorer icon on desktop and my home page would come up
on screen. Now it does not happen instead a block comes up on status bar at
bottom of screen then by right clicking on this a box opens up with several
options, one being restore. If i click on this my home page comes up and
explorer works normally.

You mean that when you double click on IE6 icon, a tab opens in taskbar that is
minimized, right ?
If yes, then click on the tab to restore the window and close it by using File|Close.
then try the shortcut again.
Good Luck, Ayush.

Okay, try this, try to access the Icon on the All Programs from the Start
Button and Right click it and see the Setting there if the target is greyed
then you have something wrong somewhere.
If the Path is not greyed then your ShortCut need to be deleted and Create
another one from the All Programs by right clicking the Internet Explorer and
copy and Paste to the Desktop and you will get a workable ShortCut Icon for
the IE.

All the entries are OK going in from all files but clicking on there still
produces the same effect. Still have to right click and select restore.
I have just found that if i select IE using SANDBOXIE, if you are familiar
with this isolation programme, it opens normally. It must mean that something
on the computer is stopping it from opening normally. Any ideas of the best
way to track this down would be appreciated.

Yes I know the Sandboxie, is that one control your Applications and prevent
rouge and unsolicited software's from installed if you are browsing the net
or playing games and take the spyware into it's chest until you close it will
Remove all TEMP.
I think this program is blocking your IE from opening Max.
Try to see the settings and let IE free as a system file or try this:
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Taps:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |
Advanced
Click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
