Here is the situation and I would apreciate any help. It is PDC W2k server with SP3. Users can loggin and find their data. The desktop icons not showing, right click does not work on desktop, only on Start menu to bring up Explorer. If I find anexecutable and click on it, most of them won’t run, just dies out or server freezes, however. Cntl-Alt-Del always works to get Task Manager. I run poledit fron there, no restrictions to hide desktop icons. Explorer shows the 18 Desktop icons in the Desktop folder, clicking on most of them will not work, server freezes, unfreeze from Task Manager, there is always more than one Explorer process, I stop one, then it unfreezes. Can’t install any program since nothing starts on the desktop. Can’t connect to the internet with either IE or FF. Everyhting is OK, all icons show when started in Safe Mode with Networking, although it takes about 10 min to boot it in this mode, can connect to the Internet but can’t update to SP4 or any other MS upgrade because Active-X is not avialable in Safe Mode. How do I get it back to normal? The earliest image backup we have has been resorted but it still shows the same behavior, thanks to all of you for the any help
