I have Windows Server 2003 R2 standard. My situation is I am unable to see my desctop when i log in, I do NOT see any desktop icons nor the start button, i am able to open Task Manager, when i try to run "Explorer.exe" nothing happens, i do not see "explorer.exe" running I have checked the registry files " userinit.exe " " UIHost " " Explorer.exe " and found no problem with them, I have also stoped all the non Microsoft services in msconfig and all the startup files then rebooted but no joy. . . SaveMode aswell dose not work. Something i`ve noticed i am unable to view C: drive and run a chkdsk, I can open it and view all the data and open it, but can`t right click on it and open properties.. Is there any other solution I can try Any feedback would be most appreciated

Have you tried running the sfc/scannow command ? If at all you are failed after running the command you can try replacing the explorer.exe from the WindowS 2003 r2 media. it should be located in the i386 directory you will have to expand and replace it.http://www.arabitpro.com
