This will hopefully fix it.
1. first run it through the task manager so u have something to work with 2. go to you system32 folder and file explorer.exe, right click it and press send to desktop 3. go to your desktop and find the shortcut, right click it and select cut 4. navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and paste it in there. 5. reboot and test if it worked |

Sounds like your Explorer.exe is damaged. Try running it in safe mode like Thumderbird suggested. Does it run normally? Perhaps your registry is corrupted. This may help.
