Ye, I agree.
Explorer.exe is the task that virtually loads everything and other tasks. The background you can see is referred to as the "desktop" the one with allthe icons. So if explorer.exe does not work, try booting the PC in Safe Mode and see if your Desktop and icons comes up alright. It could be a virus or perhaps Spyware, so if Safe Mode works run a Virus Scanner ( i suggest Nortons) and a Spyware scanner. ( suggest Spybot Search & Destroy) which you can get Free from www.download.com jus simply search for it!

Hope this helps.

Dave.
