Default Can't recover desktop

Have you tried starting in Safe Mode?

How to boot into Safe Mode? - The 'Official' MS method is holding down or
'stabbing at' the Ctrl OR the F8 keys, BUT you do need to do this
IMMEDIATELY after you power up your PC and keep 'stabbing' at them until the
WinMe
splash screen shows. You could also try the same, but using the Shift key
instead.

Come back and let us know how you get on then someone can advise further.

The screen is blank after booting up. No icons, no start, cannot right
click. I can ctrl, atl, delete but it doesn't give me the option of "new
task". Only end task, shutdown & cancel. Unfortunately my boyfriend
cannot
find any disk that came with computer. Help!
