Hi,

You have a damaged or altered shell entry in the registry. From Task
Manager, run regedit (instead of explorer). Expand the keys in the left pane
by clicking the triangles at left to reach this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Click on this key and locate the 'shell' string in the right pane. Double
click it, replace the contents with just

explorer.exe

Click ok, then close the registry editor and reboot the machine.
