            In Task Manager go to File > New Task (Run...) and select that.

            Now type in explorer.exe and click OK.

            Do you have any functions/icons now and can you get on the Internet?

              Can you get in to Safe Mode like Carbon suggested and run a virus scan?

                Was there not an option to enter Safe Mode?
