Vista Doesnt Boot Right

When I boot or Re-boot my computer it goes to a blank screen with just the 'my documents' folder open on the screen. I added a shortcut to Explorer.exe into the folder and can get windows to boot if I click that but that is the only way. Please help.

Re: Vista Doesnt Boot Right

This solution has been effective. Please backup this registry key before modifing it just to be save.

"Hit cntr+alt+delete and then task manager, run a new task called regedit, now in the left hand collum navigate to

HKEY_local machine/software/microsoft/WindowsNT/Currentversion/winlogon

now in the right hand panel click on shell. The data value should only be explorer.exe.

Delete anything after that, restart."
