Also, the folder My Network Places is missing! I also tried going into run>
My network Places and it still doesnt work. and I googled about the system
tray icons missing, and just before you mention it, it has nothing to do
with booting up, and when I minimize anything to the system tray, it
disappears(stays running, but nothing shows)
Also, when I right click the task bar, hide inactive icons is not selectable
