Sounds like someone may have played around with administrative settings,
either that or a hacker may have got in to the computer, this could happen
if the computer was never password protected, happened to me once. Scan for
a virus, then I would just pop the 2000 setup CD back in to the computer and
do a repair. That should fix up whatever settings were changed. Good luck.

Subject: [TechAssist] WINDOWS 2000 QUES. - DESKTOP BLANK
Hello,
Has anyone seen this problem with windows 2000:
It boots normally, logs in but the desktop is blank,
only mouse cursor is visible.
The customer said 'icons disappeared'. I upon
inspection found that the task manager is still
accessible and some commands can be run via T/M. I
tried this in safe as well as normal mode.
Anyway, I'm going to do a virus scan, as well as a
possible reload of windows. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
