This key should be in place to launch explorer.exe at logon. It may be simpler for you if you just copy the text in the box to a notepad [format/wordwrap unchecked] and save as fixkey.reg to your desktop; dclick it to run... agree; if it opens in notepad instead rclick the icon [file], choose Open with, Registry editor....

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="Explorer.exe"

Hi

if only one of the log ins is facing the issue then it can be a corrupted profile. What happens with teh other profiles ? If other profiles works fine , create a new profile and transfer the data (eg fovorite,desktop etc)

GOOD LUCK
