On a member server on our domain running Nt 4.0 Server SP6a, I have no desktop icons. Taskmanager says explorer.exe is running at 99/100 percent. All logins are fine. When I kill explorer the system behaves normal but still no desktop. Permissions are set to everyone full control on the %system% folder. Reinstalled service pack and security updates but not affect. Any clues?

Is the profile for the logged on user OK? Try logging on as someone else to see if they have the same problem.

Is active desktop running? If so rightclick on the destop anywhere then goto active desktop and click on show icons. the task bar might just be hidden try to drag it up from the bottom of screen.
