It sounds like explorer.exe is corrupt.
Reboot and press F8 during boot up. Scroll up to safe mode and press enter.
Once in safe mode, go to My Computer, right click the C: drive, select Properties, 
click the Tools tab, click on Check volume for errors, check the box to automatically 
fix errors, and click on Start. Reboot the PC and during boot up it will fix any 
errors.
If that doesn't fix it then reboot and press F8 again. This time scroll to Last Known 
Good Configuration and press enter.
If that doesn't work, then it's time to repair or reinstall Windows.

Good luck!
