No icons or task bar

Chas

I have a friend that has windows xp that does not have any icons nor the
task bar. Her desk top picture is there, but no icons. She had some
friends/ family over and someone got on her pc. Now she has this problem.
She tried the f8 button. It does ask her a few questions. She tried to open
in safe mode. Hour glass was there but nothing happened. Any ideals?
thanks
