Missing Desktop Icons & Taskbar

INFORMATION
Windows Explorer manages the Windows Graphical Shell including the Start menu, taskbar, desktop, and File Manager. By removing this process the graphical interface for Windows will disappear. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

ii)This issue may occur if the Norton CleanSweep program was installed. Pls refer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314867

iii) You can also try 'system restore' to a date before you had the explorer.exe problem. If it was long ago, you might not want to do it because it looses all the data saved after the restore point chosen.
