I am having the similar issue right now but the windows disappears and
sometimes would return but everytime I open up a "My Documents" for
example everything disspears.

Launch an elevated CMD window, ie Right click, Run as Administrator...
Shutdown Explorer Process from the Task Manager
In the CMD window go to C:\Users\.\AppData\Local
Do the following command: attrib -H IconCache.db
Do the following command: del IconCache.db
Do the following command: start explorer

This should rebuild the Icon Cache

Could not do it or its either I am doing it wrong it already comes up in
the CMD as my C:\document and setting\username> but im not sure how to
proceed from there. I tried typing in attrib -H IconCache.db but then it
said "file not found".

I had this same problem I believe.

When you try to open any window, 10 seconds later you lose your
desktop, taskbar, icons and all that. Nothing but a relog or restart
will return them.

This is a Trojan causing this mate.

Download a program called SuperAntiSpyware and scan/delete.

Solved my problem at least... good luck.
