press the windows key (to the left of the space board) + R, in the run window that pops up type in control panel.





to get your icons back do the same thing but instead of typing control panel type ';explorer.exe
click start, run. type control





or





ctrl-atl-del, click file, new task then type control
this prb has happened with me also but it was IE7 and the problem was more serious .


For opening control pannel there is many ways


1- if you are able to open my computer then click on folders.


in left side a list of folders will come after the cd drive there is control


panel


2- open taskmanager, click on application tab , underneath there is an option of new task. click it. write , explorer , there and hit enter


After that your my computer will start .and do as i told





3- one more help but do it after none works


restart your computer, and constantly keep pressing F8 key before anything appears and keep doing.


there will be a window in which there will be many options


- click open last known good configuration


- or you can also try opening it in safe mode
