My Xp-home does not boot right

[mohammed]

I have WindowsXP-home. when i boot the computer it starts normally, i get
the desktop and all the icons but i cannot open any application. The only
thing i can do is ALT+CRTL+ DEL and log off and log back in with the same
users or different user.

Hi

Please go to Doug Knox's web site and try the fix for .EXE files:

And also the .lnk (link) association.

off it shows an error explorer.exe is running and need to end task.

Hi,

How about in Safe mode? Does the problem still occur there?

In safe mode it works fine. Even in the normal mode it happens only
sometimes

Hi,

Then I would use a diagnostic boot to determine what program or combination
of programs is causing the problem.
