I've had this problem before. My problem was spyware related. If you can, try scanning your computer for spyware and adware. Once it's done and you have the infected files deleted, I would reboot.

Have you made any recent software upgrades? Especially Internet Explorer 7 RC1. This happened to me and I lost all desktop, taskbar etc activity.

To resolve this, boot up pc, press ctrl+alt+del to access task manager. Start new task, browse/find normaliz.dll and copy then paste to c:\windows\system32. Reboot. You should now have access to desktop as normal.

Please only do this if you have recently upgraded/installed IE7 RC1.
