What OS?

Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any Software or Hardware that you installed or setup.

When last time everything all right?

Windows xp

And no

I was waching a star treak tng episode on the internet and then when I was done I turned off the computer and then when I turned it on the next day it han no icons on

See if this works

Right click on the taskbar and then click the Show Desktop option

But I do not even have a start bar so how can I click on something I do not have

Try this first and see if this helps


press CTRL+ALT+DEL to fire up the Task Manager. Now on the File menu, select New Task (Run... ). Type in "explorer" and press OK. That should restart explorer and re-display your Taskbar.

This worked for someone that had same issue

Try this here:

Press ctrl, alt, and delete (to bring out task manager)
New task
Type
Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution

Options\explorer.exe < delete
