Desktop content dissapeared

[BloodyPepperoni]

OK, here's my problem : a few days ago, I wanted to close a running program, and I used ctrl alt delete, and by mistake, I clicked on explorer.exe and clicked end task. Since then, my desktop content has dissapeared, and the only way to do anything is ctrl alt delete and then use task manager. I tried to run explorer.exe via task manager, did not work. I tried ctrl+shift+esc, then explorer.exe, did not work. Using rebootong options, I tried to run my comp with settings that existed prior to that, did not work either.
Anyone has any clue on how to fix this?

You Really need to use backup disks. As for the problem, you have the options of:
1 get your HD ghosted onto another HD
2 De-frag
3 Recovery disk

That's all I can thibk of at the moment
