Default Explorer.exe stops running before my desktop is displayed

I've suddenly developed a problem when logging on to my laptop. Once I enter
my password, windows starts to load up, but explorer stops working before the
desktop or anything else is displayed, and produces an error message.
Clicking on the error message shuts the message down, but leaves a blank
black screen. I can load the task manager. I can also load Internet Explorer
by clicking on the 'privacy policy' hotlink at the foot of the error message.
Im running Vista Utlimate.
Any ideas?

The error massage displayed is..
'Windows Explorer has stopped working. Windows can check online for a
solution to the problem.'
Then two options.. 'Check online for a solution and close the program.' OR
'Close the program'.

The problem details are as follows..

Hi,

From Task Manager, on the applications tab click 'new task' and enter
regedit, then click ok. Go to this key:

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

Double click the shell entry in the right pane, replace the contents with
just:

explorer.exe

and click ok. Close the registry editor and restart the system.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately i tried going in and out, in safe mode and restoring and have
made the sitiuation worse!
Now when I boot up my laptop and enter the intial password, it doesnt get as
far before the the black screen appears, I can't access the task manager, and
now safe mode doesn't work either!
Unfortunately I'm overseas so so dont have my Vista DVD to boot from. Is
there a way of perhaps getting into it any other way, dos, etc? Otherwise its
a trip to the PC doctors!
Thanks.
David.

Hi,

Nope, at this point you'd need a disk to get to the recovery environment.
