win 7 no start or taskbar

Hey, has anyone lost the start & taskbar & desktop items, i have a original win 7 downloaded from ms site & all of a sudden after a couple of weeks i lost these functions, does anyone know to get them back??????

 

This problem can be caused by ‘malware’ but here is a registry key to check out:

As the Windows Orb (Start) is missing, open regedit via Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc then on the Applications Tab click ‘New Task’ at the bottom, type regedit.exe, press Enter and navigate to registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. In the right pane, make sure there is a REG_SZ named Shell and it has a value of "explorer.exe" (no quotation marks). If it’s not there, create it by clicking Edit > New > String Value then right-click it and key in explorer.exe then restart the computer.

 

Thanks for your reply, but everything seems alright there any other suggestions

 

hey steve typing in explorer.exe worked great thanks a million God Bless
