About 1 out of 10 times when I power up my computer windows desktop does not populate, no task bar, icons, folders nada just blank blue desktop background screen.

I have to ALT-CTRL-DEL to open task manager go to file, run and type in explorer, than the desktop populates. Any ideas why this would happen and only on some occasions.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

The above 2 sites could prove helpful.
After a quick google search I saw many people having the same problem with google desktop. If you have that try to get rid of it and see.
Here is the google page I used
