What to do when your desktop icons, start menu and task bars are missing?

So usually in this case, I restarted the computer LOL... now I know better.

Anyway, if you answer yes to all of the below questions, you proceed to the easy fix that I'll post at the bottom of this blog post.

1. Your windows explorer hung up/ got stucked and you used 'end task' on windows task manager to shut it.
2. All your desktop icons, start menu and task bars are missing. You will only see the desktop background (if you have any). You will also have access to windows task manager and any of your previously minimised files (by right clicking the file on the task manager and clicking 'bring to front'), except windows explorer (of course).

Okay, now for the quick fix:

1. Bring up your windows task manager
2. Go to 'File' then 'New task (Run)'
3. Type 'explorer.exe' into the box provided.
4. And wait for your desktop to magically reappear!

Hope this helped you! :P
