Hi Terry,
Just an idea ..have you tried Safe Mode ..ie as windows boots up press F8 and
then choose Safe mode from the menu ..it might let you access the desktop
again. There is also the option of "last know good configuration" on the same
menu. If you get in you might be able to start-programs-accessories-system
tools - system restore and restore from a past back up.

After manual removal of a BHOASSI.EXE virus as detailed on Lockergnome, I now
no longer have a working XP desktop. Windows boots normally, I see the
wallpaper, but no icons, no taskbar (and Windows key doesn't bring it up
either), and no other way of doing anything. The only thing that can be done
is Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the Task Manager, where I can then choose to
Shutdown, Logoff, etc. I can also run programs from the File/Run menu, but
attempting to run Explorer.exe does nothing.
I've done a repair install of windows, created another User, all to no avail.
