Missing Desktop Syndrome

Posted in General Computing, MicroSoft by Gabe on August 5, 2008

Here’s a quick tip that I squeezed out of myself just now. If you ever find your icons plus taskbar missing, hit the old CAD (ctrl alt del) and find explorer.exe on the processes list and kill it, if it’s not there, then simply hit file then run and type “explorer.exe” no quotes and that should fix the problem :P

NOTE! To Vista users, if an MSI file hangs explorer.exe do the same thing!
