Hi Brendan,
I am assuming you are referring to the icons and taskbar missing from the desktop. This is thought to be caused by some sort of spyware. The steps in this article should fix the empty desktop. Blank Desktop or Illegal Operations Error Message After You Install Internet Explorer: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;249191 Removing and preventing spywa Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware components and lets you remove them safely. After installing Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ SpywareBlaster: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage.
