Hi barca26,

Try this:

Click start and type REGEDIT, then hit <enter> to open the registry editor.
Expand the keys at left by clicking the plus (+) signs to reach this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Click on this key and locate the 'shell' string in the right pane. Double
click it, replace the contents with just

explorer.exe

Click ok, then close the registry editor and reboot the machine.
