I have a PDC Windows 2000 server and when I restarted it, the desktop icons no longer are displayed. &nbsp;It restarts fine and all the services seem to be running on the server and everything seems to be working, but the icons will not appear at startup. &nbsp;Explore.exe process seems to be running in the task manager. &nbsp; I can RDC into the server and the icons will magically appear after about 15 minutes. &nbsp;Any ideas on what might be causing this and a fix to the problem.<br />

Much thanks,<br />

Dissapearing Icons on PDC after restart.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
