turned on my lappy today and just gettin a blank screen after i put in my password, all that cums up is a window with files in. it is the same window if you press computer then i can choose things from that window, thats how im on the internet now. if i close that window it stays black. ive rebooted but stayed the same. any help is appreciated. thanks.

did it work then? If it did I am impressed.

You shouldnt need to, but restart it and have another try. If it does need to be done again, you may need to repair windows.
 
explorer should start automatically with windows, if it doesnt then something is definitely wrong.

This isnt my own work, we have a handbook for this sort of thing from work:

Click start, type 'regedit' and hit <enter> to open the registry editor.
Expand the keys at left to reach:

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

Click on this key, then locate the 'shell' string in the right pane. Double
click it, replace the contents with just:

explorer.exe

Click ok, then close the registry editor and reboot.

woooooooohooooooooooooooooo lol cheers again mate, what could have changed the entry to what it was?
 
Did you make a note of what was in the shell entry in the registry ?


That would give an idea of how the change occured.
