i have a soloution
I had the exact problem too lastnite (blank desktop and only the documents folder opened everything else works fine),...i only fixed it now....ok this should work i'm usin windows vista but it should work for xp
You can goto Ctrl+alt+Del, open task manager and run explorer.exe to Normally start VISTA.
it works now but u need to do the following steps for it to remain like this.
Step 1: Start > Run , type in 'regedit' (without the quotes of course) in the search box .
Step 2: Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
Step 3: In Winlogon, on the right side, there should be a value called "Shell".
Double click this value. Make sure only "Explorer.exe" is the value of Shell, if anything else is there, simply delete it and leave 'Explorer.exe'. Restart Windows.
Your pc should be back to normall now...if you have any questions based on this jus let me know.
