ok ppl. i have this huge problem and its really making me frustrated.
i restarted my puter and when it booted up "my documents" folder opened automatically with the explorer available. my desktop has no icons and i cant right click my desktop. when i try to drag stuff from the explorer onto the desktop the cursor turns into a little "no" symbol. i also cant access my start menu. even with the windows key on the keyboard.
it acts like its in "web page mode" but i navigated to the control panels and opened "display" but i dont see that that option is turned on. i ran norton antivirus. nothing. i rebooted several times. nothing.
Sounds like someone has messed up your settings. It is possible that the lack of icons on the desktop is a desktop properties setting that allows the wallpaper to cover the icons, but the lack of a start menu is something that would require registry entries to do. The simplest thing to try is "restore". Try using explorer to navigate to %SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe where %SystemRoot% is your Windows directory. Open Rstrui.exe and restore the system to an earlier restore point.
dont worry. it is a very simple problem, plz create a new account with administrator power then delete the previous user account(i mean problem account).then restart ur system finally u can run or seen all functions without any problems.
after ur work plz replay me...
