Will it work in Safe Mode? If not then a windows Repair is probably necessary - you would not lose your files or need to reinstall any applications.
Explorer is your desktop... icons, taskbar, Start button; Task Manager runs independantly of explorer. Background is usually presented by explorer, but may be also put up by IE if you use a webpage or active desktop... anyway, try for safe mode.
