Ok so heres my problem...EVERY time I shutdown and restart my laptop explorer.exe only partially loads. I've got a mouse pointer and a solid blue background. Also when I plug my phone in the usb port before powering my computer on it will recognize it and give me my action prompt. So in order to get my desktop i have to end the explorer.exe process then re-run it. Even though I get a desktop eventually, its just kinda annoying. Can someone help? Thanks in advanced!

I get a problem just like that I get the My documents explorer.exe instead of the main one and I have to start it up using command prompt

All started when I installed SP1 I would also like this to be fixed

Start > Run , type in 'regedit' (without the quotes of course) in the search box .

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.

In Winlogon, on the right side, there should be a value called "Shell".
Double click this value. Make sure only 'Explorer.exe' is the value of Shell, if anything else is there , simply delete it and leave 'Explorer.exe' . Close out the window and restart....

See if that works..

It must say Explorer.exe
 
well it worked :)

it had this "explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Config\csrss.exe" got rid of "C:\WINDOWS\Config\csrss.exe" worked fine lol
 
No problem. I guess it just didn't quite install correctly or maybe something modified the registry. Just remember that for the future, because apparently this is a frequent problem in the world of Vista.
 
Sorry to hijack, but is this something that happens in XP also? My XP computer logs on really slow and takes a long time to show the taskbar.
