Re: Desktop doesn't show off
Firzen,
I had exactly that problem 2 days ago. For almost 1 day, I had to bring up TaskManager by hitting the alt-cont-del keys, and then running explorer.exe ( as described by Mr Will Denny) However, if it helps, I had resolved the problem by clicking start, then run and type in sfc /scannow. You need your XP cd in the PC. Let it run and after its finished, my desktop came back normal. Been OK since then. Hope this will help you. =============================================== "Will Denny" <willdenny@mvps.org> wrote in message news:elscPOrDGHA.2088@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Hi > > Next time you reboot to the Desktop, open the Task Manager, go to File>New > Task(Run...) and type in > > explorer > > -- > > > Will Denny > MS MVP Windows Shell/User > Please reply to the News Groups > > "Firzen" <Firzen@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:9C40E402-5C44-4FC8-964B-2FD646498BB8@microsoft.com... >>I have windows XP home edition, and when I star windows the desktop only >> shows the background, no icons or anything, just the background, I tried >> restarting it but it keeps showing the background only...anyone know why >> is >> this happening or how can I solve it? >> >> Thanks > >

Re: Desktop doesn't show off
Thanks for answering, but when I type explorer or explorer.exe it only shows
a window saying that there is no program associated for that action, and it happens the same with sfc /scannow even with my XP cd in the PC and sometimes it won't let me open the task manager. anymore ideas? or how can I open system restore?

Re: Desktop doesn't show off
When you are at the Task Manager, use the browse button to go to the
c:\windows directory to select the explorer.exe Do not just type in explorer.exe In my case, I get my desktop back this way and from here, I ran the sfc /scannow. Hope this can help. ================================================== ================== "Firzen" <Firzen@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:23E4D6AA-44FA-486C-AC19-25486D20AE7A@microsoft.com... > Thanks for answering, but when I type explorer or explorer.exe it only > shows > a window saying that there is no program associated for that action, and > it > happens the same with sfc /scannow even with my XP cd in the PC and > sometimes > it won't let me open the task manager. > > anymore ideas? or how can I open system restore? > > Thank you > > "Will Denny" wrote: > >> Hi >> >> Yes, either sfc /scannow or a System Restore back to a point before the >> problem started. >> >> -- >> >> >> Will Denny >> MS MVP Windows Shell/User >> Please reply to the News Groups >> >> "AlFlo" <alflo@streamyx.com> wrote in message >> news:43b7a8a9$1_2@news.tm.net.my... >> > Firzen, >> > I had exactly that problem 2 days ago.

Your file association have been damaged. Find fixes for the commone

Re: Desktop doesn't show off
Thanks, but I can't open anything in my PC (laptop), the posts I have made
are from another PC I have, I downloaded the files in my other PC, and tried to pass them to my laptop by usb and cd but when I try to open them via task manager the same error message appears, "there is no file assosiation for that action" "S.

Re: Desktop doesn't show off
Rename the xp_exe_fix.reg to exefix.reg and move it into the C:\ root.
From a command prompt type in reg import C:\exefix.exe If that fails, let me know if the reg /? command works from a command prompt.
