Hi, I just came on here to post the same problem, I am running XP Home with SP2, I just turned the PC on and all I got was the Desktop with no icons or start bar, I restarted the PC and it froze as soon as it tried to come back on, I turned it off and left if for a few minutes and turned it back on again and the same thing happened, I also can access everything through the task manager.
No Desktop Taskbar or icons

Go to start; Run (WinKey + R) and type sfc /scannow - make sure you have the XP discs handy. After that completes restart, If problem persists, press Ctrl + alt + del and look at the processes tab. Look for explorer.exe and delete it. Now go to applications and click New Task. Type explorer.exe in here and it should reload your taskbar and desktop items.
