Default I'm pulling my hair out!

I assume, that the first explorer.exe, which displays the desktop, has
frozen. After a few hours it may have restarted automatically.
Next time: Kill every explorer.exe in the task manager, start a new
explorer.exe from within the task manager (file, new task or so, I
have a german Windows). You can test this any time.

Regards

The desktop has all the icons it is supposed to have but clicking on any
one of them does nothing.

The taskbar has the Windows Start icon at one end and the date/time
thing at the other end.

Again clicking does nothing.

Aha! I see a stationary hourglass next to the pointer.

crtl-sh-esc is ignored.

ctrl-alt=delete brings up the expected menu.

I have everything backed up. What should I do????????????????????

Thanks/
