    For some reason, suddenly the desktop has stopped appearing.  This started a week ago after which I kept the computer turned off.  The only thing I can do is start task manage (cntrl-alt-del).  I navigated to the system32 restore folder and selected rstui.exe as a new task to start, but the computer didnt do anything except show the rstrui process in the tasks list.  I was able topen regedit though, but I dont know what I can do to restore the computer to an earlier time or to factory settings. 

    Help please, what should I do to get the desktop back?
