This morning I restarted my computer (it was on all night) and when i logged into my account my desktop was gone. I can still access programs through task manager but my icons, toolbar, and start menu have vanished.

I have done nothing abnormal- i have not installed and new programs or download anything. I recently ran spybot and did a virus searcg, but I do not have a program that can search for trojans.

I went through some other thread on this site and nothing I have found has helped. I went to regedit, and nothing abnormal was there (just a 'default' icon) and a Fix XP desktop.zip won't download for me...

Sometimes I hate computers :[
Any help would be greatly appreiated!

What antivirus program do you use? Can you boot into safe mode and run a full system scan?
