You have lost your shell, If you have been playing in
regedit or if it happened by itself you need to restore
this registry key.
Copy the text below and paste it in notepad and save the
file as shellreg.reg

-----------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="Explorer.exe"

---------------------------------------------

or open regedit and browse to that location and manually
add \ change it

I had alot of fun deleting registry keys too!!!
