Found it.  There is another key:
HKCU\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon

That had a string value shell set to cmd.exe.  Removed it and I'm back.

Thanks!

Are there any other problems set as the shell? If so remove them.

Also, could be a virus. I see that some people have fixed it with Spybot Search
and Destroy.

Good luck,

[H] Windows 7 - explorer won't load at boot

2013-08-01 Thread Thane Sherrington
I've got a Windows 7 machine which boots to a blank screen, but I can 
bring up task manager and run explorer and then the desktop 
appears.  Checking the \HKLM\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current 
VersionWinlogon, Explorer is set as the shell.  Any ideas?
