RE: nt40 desktop not appearing
Had this once. Turned out to be a corrupt wins database. Deleted the database and re-booted. Worked after that.

No task bar etc. I can even hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and get the task manager dialog and that all works, but I cannot get access to the desktop. Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on?

I'll be darned...the explorer.exe was actually missing, not even on the drive. Must have got trashed during the reboot. I copied if from another server and it comes up fine. Thanks for all the ideas!
