If your problem started while on the Internet it's likely your system was
infected with a virus or a troyan horse. It's known that viruses make
changes in the group editor and/or in the registry editor, with similar
consecuences to yours. Troyan horses are known to delete all kind of files,
including system files.
Not all viruses are detected by an updated anti-virus program and even less
of a chance if it's a troyan horse.

You mentioned you can access Explorer in safe mode; here are a few
suggestions to make good use of that posibility.

• First of all try this; in safe mode or trough Excel save as window.. find
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Restore\rstrui.exe and restore to date prior to March
31st.

• Trough the Excel save as window, or the taskmanager, or in safe mode see
if you can access the Internet and run an online virus scan in
http://www.pandasoftware.com

• In Excel save as window find System32 right click on the folder and
explore
• If able to access the Taskmanager; New Task\type gpedit.msc, regedit.msc,
rstrui.exe, explore.exe or iexplore.exe
• If able to access the Command prompt; type program.exe or .msc
• in Gpedit take a look into the directives I mentioned before.

• In regedit.msc
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Advanced\StartMenuRun (see if it's not disabled 0) enable 1
Control Panel\should be empty (only the default alfanumeric value w/value
not established)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Contro
lPanel & Desktop & StartMenu.... there are a number of keys that could be
causing the problem, examples; Start Menu\Start Menu\Start Menu
Run\Policy\No Run Start Menu\

H_K_L_M\Software\Microsoft\windows\current version\explorer\Start Menu\Start
Panel\Control Panel\Hide, Open, Policy if you have key values that are
preceded with No (e.g: NoRun) the key values must be 0 to be disabled.

Hope any of these suggestions help.
