Start Menu, Desktop Icons didn't show up on startup

My laptop got this weird problem. Whenever i start my laptop (WinXP OS btw), the desktop icons and the start menu won't show up as always.

Everytime that happens, i have to kill the explorer.exe process and start it over again (Task Manager > End Process Explorer.exe > New Task Explorer.exe) and only then the desktop icons and start menu appears.

I've already scan my computer for any infection regarding malware, but nothing came up.

Any solutions is highly appreciate..

Are you sure that HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell points to explorer.exe? This can also be caused by other registry keys missing (used to see this a lot after installation of MS06-052, so I probably still have the .reg lying around).
