- Worker missing Windows table
, but appears along with all folders and shortcuts if you boot into Safe Mode. What do you think, admin, what could be wrong? My problems began with an active Saturday surfing the Internet, looking for a disk image from my laptop (I touched mine somewhere). I found the image I needed on one of the sites, but decided to open and look at the screenshot of the disk, located on another site - image hosting. And at that moment, I suddenly got alarmed and issued a warning that there was a virus in the folder C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp and cleaning was impossible, then the computer froze, I had to force a reboot. After the reboot, a completely empty Windows desktop awaited me, without folders or shortcuts; instead of my permanent screensaver there was another one, and even with such an image, it’s better not to tell you. I tried to launch the Task Manager using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del, but after it the screen turns black and so on ad infinitum.
I’ve been reading your articles for a long time, I immediately tried to boot into it and was successful, there is a desktop there along with folders with shortcuts in place. Unfortunately, I can’t use it, it’s disabled for me. I launched it and scanned it all system partition C:, three viruses were found, then it loaded into the system and, interestingly, the alien screensaver disappeared, but the desktop was still empty. I also have an antivirus at the ready, so I think it’s useful. I booted from the disk, after a full scan another virus was found, but during normal boot the desktop still did not appear. Are there any other options for me besides ? Sergey.
Windows desktop disappeared
Friends, very often I have had to deal with this problem; at first glance, readers asked me two identical questions, but they are solved differently. Let's look at the first case first, since it is much more serious, because it concerns Windows infection by a virus.First of all, in order to successfully deal with this problem, you need to know which system file the virus modifies and which registry settings it changes, then it will not be difficult for you to quickly fix everything. I suggest you take everything apart possible ways solutions to this problem and let's start with the simplest and fastest ones.
- If all else fails, be sure to try the most last method in this article, it is called that If all else fails, it often helps me when my desktop disappears.
- Of course, you need to use anti-virus treatment utilities, then fix the registry and (we'll sort it all out), but you can solve the problem and more in a simple way. I'm sure that if our first reader had System Restore enabled, which can be applied perfectly in Safe Mode, the problem would have been solved in five minutes. First of all, in such cases, you need to remember about recovery; it was invented for a reason.
So, if when we boot Windows the desktop is as empty as a wallet before payday, we try to immediately (without restarting the computer) type the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del, the Task Manager should open, then File -> New task ,
We enter explorer in the input field and OK, the desktop should appear with all the shortcuts and folders.
It is the Explorer.exe file that is responsible for launching the Windows graphical shell,
which consists of the desktop, start menu, toolbars and explorer. If the system file Explorer.exe does not start along with the operating system, then the desktop will not start. The explorer.exe file is located in the C:\Windows folder.
You may ask me: - Why didn’t the Explorer.exe file start on its own and you need to force it to start. You can answer this way: - We are lucky, friends, yes, yes, we are lucky - malware I just changed some important registry settings that are responsible for launching the Explorer.exe file (but did not change the file itself). Instead of the Explorer.exe file and the desktop, a malicious application was launched, the process of which can be seen in the Task Manager. How can I fix a damaged registry and make Explorer.exe start on its own? Of course, apply system restore, this is the easiest method. Apply system restore.
Important Note: Friends, sometimes a malicious program modifies or deletes the Explorer.exe file itself. If this article does not help you, read another one, it describes a method for removing the explorer.exe file from the Windows 7 distribution and replacing the faulty file with it.
In exactly half of the cases the problem will be solved and the next time you boot you will see your desktop, then you can check the system for viruses. By the way, you can immediately call system recovery in the Task Manager - File -> New task, enter rstrui.exe in the input field, but this is in Windows 7 and 8. In Windows XP you need to type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
In most cases, you will see your desktop. Apply system restore and roll back a day.
If in safe mode there is also an empty desktop, but you have system recovery enabled, then you can type Ctrl+Alt+Del, the Task Manager will open, then File -> New task, enter explorer.exe in the input field, the desktop will appear or enter immediately command rstrui.exe, system recovery will start, roll back and check the computer for viruses. It is also advisable to carry out restoration system files Windows.
Safe Mode with Command Line Support
In safe mode with command line support, type explorer.exe in the command line, the desktop opens, then run system restore, edit the registry, and so on.
We can immediately start system recovery with the command rstrui.exe 
In Windows XP, type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
System restore does not work for some reason
If in all modes system recovery does not work and does not solve the problem, and the desktop is still empty during normal boot, then we go to the registry and manually correct the parameters changed by the virus.
The Explorer.exe application deserves special mention in our entire story, as I already said, it is responsible for launching the Windows graphical shell, which consists of the desktop, start menu, toolbars and explorer.
It is the Explorer.exe file that in our case is attacked by viruses and, if successful, they modify it, as a result of this modification - the Explorer.exe file infected with a virus and a lifeless Windows desktop. But in some cases, viruses do not touch the Explorer.exe file, but change some registry settings. As a result, when the operating system boots, it does NOT refer to the Explorer.exe file, but to a completely different virus file. As a result, the Windows graphical shell again does not load. How to fix the registry if system restore did not work for us?
IN safe mode, launch the registry - Start -> Run and type regedit in the input field,
The registry will open. If in safe mode you also have an empty desktop, then try the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del, the Task Manager will open, then File -> New task, enter regedit in the input field.
First of all, you need to look at the problem in the registry branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon look at the line “shell” it should have the value “explorer.exe”. And in our case, instead of explorer.exe there is the value c:\users\Your username\appdata\local\temp\2lfg38m0.exe 
If at this time we manage to launch the task manager, then instead of the system process Explorer.exe we will see some malicious process, in our case 2lfg38m0.exe.
In the same thread, look at another line “Userinit” It should have the value “C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe”, there should be nothing after the comma. In our case, again the value is c:\users\Username\appdata\local\temp\2lfg38m0.exe
All this needs to be removed and the registry restored to normal. We correct both values in the registry.
Let's look at another registry branch
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, if there is a parameter: NoDesktop, then its value should be 0, but in no case 1. In general, the NoDesktop parameter can be deleted.
Using the name of the virus 2lfg38m0.exe, I search the registry and find another modified value. Branch
c:\users\Username\appdata\local\temp\2lfg38m0.exe, delete all this, there should be nothing here at all.
Shell parameter must be empty
Explorer.exe file
All this is good, but we have considered the solution to the problem from one side, that is, the Explorer.exe file is not infected, but the virus has made malicious changes in the registry. We performed a system restore and scanned antivirus utilities our Windows and removed the viruses, then corrected the registry, that’s basically it, the problem is solved and after loading into normal mode we have a desktop.
But the problem may be different, the Explorer.exe file may be infected or deleted altogether, and even if we want to, even with a normal registry, we will not be able to load the Windows desktop. Therefore, if you have when loading operating system it turns out - explorer.exe error or explorer.exe application error and sometimes it's just a black screen.
This means you need to enter Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Command Prompt support and perform system file recovery. How to do it?
Select safe mode with command line support.
Type sfc /scannow on the command line.
System systems are checked and restored Windows files, sometimes the system may ask you to insert a Windows installation disk into the drive. Our file - Explorer.exe will be restored.
AVZ utility
At the end of the answer to the first letter, I would like to give an example of the well-known AVZ utility. If everything said above does not help, you can use this utility.
Let's go to the website of the utility developer - Oleg Zaitsev.
http://z-oleg.com/secur/avz/download.php
Download the utility
Please note here that many users make a mistake when launching the utility. Press CRTL+ALT+DEL, the task manager appears, click File->New task, in the field that opens, enter the full path to the avz.exe file. For example, my file avz.exe is located in the folder C:\Users\Username\Desktop\avz4\avz.exe
So we type C:\Users\Your Username\Desktop\avz4\avz.exe
The main program window opens
We update the AVZ utility. File –> database update
File->System Restore
Check the boxes on item 9. Removing debuggers system processes" and 16. Recovering the Explorer launch key, then click "Perform the marked operations."
Reply to the second letter
Quite recently I had a similar case. One of my friends in the screen settings found, in addition to the main Samsung monitor, something else unknown to him Display device: VGA. He became interested and made it the main screen, then clicked Apply.
After this, the monitor screen turned black, restarting the computer did not help, the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination did not help either - the task manager did not appear. What helped was this: when you booted the computer, you had to press F-8, the troubleshooting menu would open, in which you need to select Loading Last Known Known Configuration that's all. You could also enter safe mode and apply system restore.
Another time there was a completely funny incident. The security guards in our organization decided at night to connect to one system unit two monitors and they were doing something there, probably playing. In the morning we turned off the computer and disconnected the second monitor, then turned on the computer, and there was an empty desktop. I was the first to come to work, they run to me, they say help me, otherwise everything on the computer is gone, and soon the bosses will come.
I go to help and think what’s missing there after all. I sit down at the computer and say - what’s missing? And they show me at the monitor with their hands - look, there is nothing.
I tried Ctrl+Alt+Del, the task manager did not appear, I looked, but the mouse pointer was on the desktop, then I right-clicked on the desktop without much hope and a menu appeared, selected Screen Resolution, I see two monitors in the Screen settings, made it the main one the monitor is active and Apply, the desktop appears.
If all else fails
There is another little-known way to restore Windows 7 boot after a failure, and I’ll tell you about it. At first glance, it may seem difficult to many, but nevertheless it often helps me out.
The fact is, friends, that a very large part of the problems due to which you cannot boot Windows 7 lie in registry errors. And Windows 7 would not be Windows 7 if it did not have a mechanism that protects registry files. Such a mechanism exists and creates backup copies of the registry in the RegBack folder every 10 days, regardless of whether you have system recovery enabled or not.
If you can't solve problems with loading Windows 7 you should try replacing the current (and apparently damaged) registry files from the Config folder with archived files from the RegBack folder. To do this we will have to boot the computer from installation disk Windows 7 or disk Windows recovery 7.
Boot into the recovery environment, select command line
and type in it – notepad , we get into Notepad, then File and Open.
We go into the real explorer, click My Computer. Now we need system disk C:, please note, the drive letters here may be mixed up, but the system drive C:, I think you can recognize it by the system drive letters located inside Windows folders and Program Files.
We go to the folder C:\Windows\System32\Config, here are the active registry files, specify the File Type - All files and see our registry files, we also see the RegBack folder, in which every 10 days the Task Scheduler makes a backup copy of the registry keys.
So, we will replace the existing registry files from the Config folder backup files registry from the RegBack folder.
So, first of all, let’s delete from the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder the files SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, DEFAULT, SYSTEM, which are responsible for all registry hives,
and in their place we will copy and paste files with the same names, but from backup copy, that is, from the RegBack folder.

Below are three screenshots of the demo site, in a “dark” style. .
Below is a screenshot of a photo album in standard DLE design. .
"Titan" is one of the most interesting and wonderful versions of the photo album module for DataLife Engine. In this version, we tried to take a big step in separating the user and administrative areas of the module. In early versions, very often, administration errors appeared due to the strong connection of the admin center with the public files of the module. For example, restoring a settings package. When the request was sent to a shared “operational” file with the site, “flash” - “lightning”; Now the request is rotated 180 degrees – to the admin center. The second point that was observed during the development of the module was to support the focus of the module’s work with a large amount of varied information. In this spirit, the algorithm for processing preview photos has been rewritten, the algorithm for updating preview photos has been rewritten - now it is a gradual mode that does not load the processor. Another interesting thing introduced in this version is the easy management of photos and comments in the admin center. Where mass materials management is an integral part.
View of the module admin center:
Now let's take a look at what new things our module has learned.
1. New section “Informers” in the admin center
A completely new section “informers” allows you to create a wide variety of informers. Photo and album informers are available.
Master step-by-step creation informer.
Among the customizable parameters are the number of output materials, the number of columns and rows - if a tabular layout is required, the ability to specify a template for the material, the ability to specify a template for the informer as a whole, the method of sorting materials, the ability to select an access group, there is also the ability to select albums to be processed. Informers can be quickly turned on and off.
Directly in the “informers” section you can view already created informers.
Both tabular and block layout of the informer code are supported. If you do not specify the number of columns or rows, block layout will be enabled.
Informers can be displayed in absolutely any area of the site, in absolutely any text information that is displayed on the site. The installation instructions offer several schemes for connecting “informers”; you should choose one.
Available schemes for displaying informers: directly into the site template; in brief and/or full news of the site; in any text area of the site, for example, in the comments to the news (in this case, it will be possible to display the informer both in the comments and in the news, and in site templates - it will be possible to display it everywhere).
An example of the informer output directly in the full news.
A special feature of the “informers” is the calling code. The calling code can be absolutely anything, but it must contain the informer ID and at least some additional character set (so that any numbers similar to the informer ID are not replaced). For example, you can use the call code “Album ID.”.
2. Duplicating the “Albums” section in the admin center
To make it possible to manage albums directly in the admin center, the “albums” section has been duplicated.
3. New section “Photos” in the admin center
The new “photos” section allows you to quickly and massively manage any photos that are added to photo albums. The first page provides the opportunity to set your personal filters. Don't be afraid to point out a large number of photos for output, you will have a chance to correct it by going back.
Photos can be sent either en masse or individually for moderation or moderated, published if the time for publication has not yet come, hidden or shown again, changed or deleted. A link is available to go directly to the photo page.
4. Transferring the “Management” section to the admin center
Management of the moderating staff has been moved from the admin panel on the site to the admin center. Now ordinary administrators will not be able to assign moderators for albums.
5. New “Comments” section in the admin center
Added a “comments” section similar to the “photos” section. On the first page of the section, you can also set up filters for displaying comments.
Comments can be managed both individual cases and groups. Only the standard delete and change functions are used here. To the left of the comment, the photo to which the comment was added is displayed, as well as a link to this photo.
6. Moving the “Optimization” section to the admin center
The “optimization” section has been moved from the admin panel on the site to the admin center. Use this operation if any entry in the database has been partially damaged and has become unsuitable for display in the photo album.
7. Transferring the “Cache” section to the admin center
Another section was moved from the admin panel on the site to the admin center. This is the cache section. Here, as before, the function of forcibly clearing the cache folder is available, and a cache file browser has also been added. Now you can delete or view certain cache files while analyzing the operation of the module.
8. Moving the “Previews” section to the admin center, the algorithm for updating previews has been rewritten
The next section moved from the admin panel on the site is the “preview” section. In this version, the preview update algorithm has been completely changed. In the first stage, the module gradually builds a list of photos. In the second stage, the module updates all photos step by step. If for some reason the photo preview cannot be updated, the photo is skipped. Such reasons may be: reduction in volumes random access memory, due to a change in hosting, or some other purely technical hiccups related to file access rights. When updating photo previews, the load on hardware was significantly reduced, and the reliability of preview updates was increased.
But why, and in general, why update the preview? If you: changed the size of the preview, medium, small or large, it doesn’t matter; if you have enabled photo filters, for example, you have enabled a black and white photo filter; if you have updated or disabled the watermark, or changed its positioning parameters; if you want some photos to be under one filter, and others under another. Only after this you need to update the photo previews, otherwise their appearance will not match your vision of the photo album.
9. Moving the “Statistics” section to the admin center
The “statistics” section was also moved from the admin panel on the site to the admin center. This section allows you to start recalculating statistics. For example, if the number of photos in the album does not correspond to the real value.
10. New section “Watermark” in the admin center
Changing the “watermark” has never been a problem, and even more so now. In this section, in the most visible place for you, information about the location of the “watermark” files is displayed. Here you can upload new “watermarks” or copy them from your templates with just a couple of clicks. “Watermark” is a graphic signature of photographs, two files – for light and dark photographs. In addition, in the settings section a special section has been created for setting up the “watermark” - settings for the output area and indents.
11. New algorithm preview processing
In previous versions of the photo album, preview creation was done on the fly, which placed additional load on the server. This algorithm has been rewritten, now photo previews are created when loading.
In addition, the creation of previews is accelerated due to the fact that before creating a preview, the photo album makes a “substrate”, already reduced, which is suitable for creating each of the three previews - again without processing the “enormousness” of the original.
12. New algorithm for fixed cropping of preview photos
Added a new algorithm for cropping preview photos. In addition to the two already available - “cube”, when cropping is done in the aspect ratio of 1 to 1, and “larger”, when cropping is done on the larger side of the photo, one more has been added. It is called "fixed cropping", the best algorithm for creating previews. Very flexible in settings and suitable for almost all photo albums. The cropping size is set to a fixed size, the photo album acquires additional advantages in the form.
Please note the even trimming of the smallest previews.
13. Ability to display a list of albums only on the main page
Now photo albums can be configured so that the list of albums is displayed only on home page. In addition to this, you can remove photo previews from the main page and display them only in the album. It's easy to create your own special photo album.
14. New features of the “Settings” and “Languages” sections in the admin center
The Manager for Settings and Language Packs has new features. Previously, it was impossible to load a package into the database; if it is not there, now you can. Just upload the file to the folder with settings or languages. We remind you that the module uses settings and languages that it loads from the database, and files are used for export and import. Using settings packages and languages allows you to flexibly customize photo albums, for example, to a specific template, loading a specific package of settings and languages, but read about this in our other article.
The packages have new parameters, new sections that increase the flexibility of module settings: for example, the CNC section, “watermark”; In the data filtering section, new parameters have been added for setting up filtering of SEO things.
The search for packages has been improved; a category is assigned to the parameters.
15. New photo preview template tags
Added a new tag (cat) for the medium preview template. Which allows you to display directly the initial album to which the photo belongs.
16. New SEO gadgets, such as alt photos, keywords and description of the photo page
17. New SEO features for albums, such as keywords and descriptions
18. New field for albums “Rules”
“Rules” is a new, special text block that appears on the pages of the album. For example, you can post rules for publishing photos in an album, or advertising, or something else. It is possible to enable the output of “rules” only on the first page.
19. New algorithm for counting the number of photos in an album
The algorithm for counting the number of photos in an album has changed. The counter will now include all photos contained in subalbums.
20. Ability to limit available links for downloading photos of other sizes
21. Displaying photos in the user’s profile in which he is tagged
In addition to the previous random user photos, it will now be possible to display photos in which the user is tagged. Additionally, these photos appear on standard photo album pages.
22. Custom formatting of the album date in the “Languages” section of the admin center
Of course, these are not all innovations, the most “delicious” is inside. All found bugs and shortcomings, grammatical errors have been corrected. Including the help of our users and clients. Thank you.
