This morning when I turned my pc on it booted up like it always does, and got the login screen like always. After I typed my password in and press enter it said loading personal settings, then stayed there for a while. After about a minute that dissapeared and the wallpaper showed up (but no icons). It then stayed like this for a long time. I then pressed ctrl-alt-del and closed explorer then reran it. This made the icons appear, and the pc seems to run fine (except I am missing most of the tray icons - all that shows up is the volume control)

What could be the problem? Im getting concerned as the pc may stop working altogethter soon and I dont want to lose my files...

Well it sounds like Explorer crashed while loading, And if it did it probably didnt get a chance to start up all the tray programs.. If you restart, hopefully it wont happen again and your icons will be good as new
