Answer
Disk defragmenter
click start -programs - accessories - system tools - disk defragmenter
if you don't have the windows start bar at this point you can run it manually from the task manager. Just click file -new tsk as you did for explorer. Type cmd.exe when the command line opens, type "defrag c: -f"
without the quotes.
You may want to email me to continue solving this problem as the website will cut you off at a 2nd follow up

Bear with me if i'm not understanding the problem correctly.
If you start windows and all you see is the background - no start menu, no task bar, no icons, hit ctrl+alt+del.
The task manager should pop up. Go to "file", "new task", then type "explorer.exe"
That should load up the desktop.
Now we need to find out why explorer is not loading.
First get this free program:
http://www.stevengould.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=2...
install and run that, say no to demo mode.
Then run disk defragmenter - start-accessories-system tools. Run that twice.
Then open my computer, right click c:, go to tools, click the button for check disk. check both boxes and reboot.
Hopefully everything comes up now.
If not or if I have not understood the problem please let me know
