| | Re: desktop problems? What is the shell String. Did everything up to that but you then lost me at Click on the Winlogon key (folder) and look for the shell string in the right pane. Double click it, then delete the contents and replace it with just "explorer.exe" (without the quotes). Click ok and close the registry editor, then reboot to see if this helps.
