When you type in explorer.exe under ---> File ---> Run in the task manager, it allows your desktop and icons to reappear (usually). If that doesnt work it sounds like nortan may be causing some series issues.

In that case after you have tried start explorer.exe, try running msconfig. Just go to ---> File ---> Run and type msconfig. This is going to bring up a window, then select the Startup tab at the top right. You will see a list that has been pulled up with lots of different programs in there. Scan through it and look for any nortan related programs and uncheck the box. Press ok and restart your computer and see where that leaves you.
