Have a look in the registry (type regedit from run) If this effects all profiles go to Hkey_current user,software, microsoft, windows,policies then have alook under the explorer key what is set. Any No delwrd s change value to 0 This turns them back on

Is there any way possible that you could supply a less detailed description of your issue? I can't speak for everyone at TechRepublic, but it's a safe bet that we're not fucking psychics.

Reloaded Windows over itself without removing anything. If files have gotten lost or corrupted this can restore them.

Check for viruses, specifically Sircam.

Sircam renames rundll32.exe to run32.exe.

Click Start->Find->Files and type run32*.* and search your C: drive. Usually the presence of run32.exe (not run32dll.exe) indicates a Sircam infection.

If not a virus, then it's probably corrupt files, and reinstalling 95 may be the answer. If you're new to this kind of thing and need to know how to reinstall Windows without reformatting, let me know and I'll be happy to help.
