why dont' you try going to task manager and do an end process for "explorer" .. and then go to file->new task in task manager itself and type explorer .. this works sometimes and brings back the desktop and task bar...
PS .. to open task manager hit Ctrl+Alt+Del keys and click on task manager ...
If this don't work then u can reinstall windows over ur current installation and most of your settings will remain same including ur files, but you have to choose repair or reinstall in the installation options .. and not new/clean install..

Before you reinstall the operating system try these steps if they work.
Press ctrl+Shift+Esc all at the same time.
if the task manager Pops up
click on file select new task.
type in explorer.exe and click on ok
you will find your icons and the task bar on the screen.
if you are not getting the task manager then follow these steps. to copy the files on the computer
restart the computer and keep tapping f8.
select safe mode with command prompt
when the log on screen comes up you need to click on Administrator
in the command prompt window you need to type in explorer.exe and press enter
you will get the icons and the task bar copy the files to a Usb device or a CD
then perform the reinstallation

If you can get to the control panel, try going to the User icon and creating a new account (with admin rights, not limited).
Log in to the computer with that new account, and you should have the taskbar and icons for that account. In the Start menu go to Accessories > System Tools > SystemRestore and try doing a system restore to a date before the taskbar disappeared.
Reboot with the normal ID and hopefully you will be back in business. Then you may delete the new account you created to save hard drive space.

Hello, I think you are not patience enough for the computer, but nonetheless, before anything restart your system and see if it give the option to select recent working properly ........ use that and see what happen.
If you need to copy your file you can use DOS to copy file or insert Windows CD to repairs if there some operating file that are damage.
I hope these will solve your problem.
