They won't right-click for deletion, nor will they allow themselves to be drop-dragged to the recycle bin. They don't appear in the desktop icon list when using the desktop cleanup feature.

Aug 21, 2008I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right forum. Here is what I need help on if it can be done. After using remote desktop you either click logoff or disconnect. When you select logoff the xp client I believe is at the Ctrl, Alt, Del screen. If you select disconnect I believe it's at the screen that says your computer is locked press Ctrl, Alt, Del to unlock. Is there a way maybe using a group policy to actually just release the desktop so it's not locked or logged off?

Yet Another Blank Desktop...
Aug 22, 2005When I boot up the system I see the winXP splash screen, then I get an absolutely blank desktop. No icons or taskbar. Mouse pointer is there and responds to movement. Ctrl-alt-del does nothing. When I try to boot into Safe Mode I get the same deal, except I can see the safemode in each corner and the header that tells me which version I'm running. I've tried repair installations and yet still have the same problem. I had a spare hard drive lying around so I put it into the system and then did a fresh install of XP into that with no problems. That drive works fine. I've replaced explorer.exe amongst other system files that I read about in the other posts to no avail. I can read the drive that has the bum version of XP via the fresh install but am blocked from accessing any of the files.

Sep 28, 2008I was using the internet when suddenly the window closed and everything disappeared from my desktop (task bar, start button, desktop icons..everything leaving just the background). Didn't get any error messages or warnings either. I tried clicking on the desktop but got no response so I pressed ctrl, alt, delete, to restart. But when it restarted I got an empty desktop again and it wasn't until the 4th time restarting when everything was there again. I then opened internet explorer and it wouldn't respond. On the fifth time restarting, everything was fine but half an hour later I got the empty desktop again and had to restart 5 times again. Is this a virus? How to I get rid of this problem since it was running fine before this.
