View Full Version : Boot up problem with explorer.exe / XP pro

On boot, I get the wallpaper only. I can go into task
manager and start explorer.exe and get my task bars and
icons. The solutions article # 555029 says that the
Shell value in the winlogin key should contain the
information
"Shell"="explorer.exe"

That value now reads:

Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\fservice.exe

When I try to overwrite this or add to it in regedit, the
value just reverts back to the above value. I've turned
on the permissions for this but it doesn't help. I'd
really like to avoid reloading Windows. Any ideas?
