: "explorer.exe" won't start up on bootup.

(Note that everything was working fine before I set up an account password)

Just recently, I decided to add a password to my account (i'm the admin as well), and now when I boot up windows,
the "explorer.exe" doesn't automatically start up.

After entering my password, I just get a blank screen.

I can then "ctrl+alt+del" and manually run "explorer.exe"

Then I get my task bar, icons, etc
But some stuff on the system tray doesn't start up, and other things I've set to auto-start on bootup, such as my widgets,
my Anti-Virus program, speedfan, msn, etc.


But, I figured out that if I just log off my account, and then login again, explorer runs, all my icon and system tray stuff load up as normal.

So this is weird.
