Resolution to my previous post: Only icons are visible after logging in to Windows Server 2003

Thanks to one of my friends who helped me resolved this problem. The reason for this problem is that the "Windows Standard" Color scheme and some other schemes in the Desktop properties were deleted. Maybe it was because of the Conficker virus or someone has accidentally deleted these schemes. Here are the steps I went through to solve this.

1. Since I could not see the text or the area where I point my mouse pointer because of the black screen, I right click on the Server's desktop and then press "R" on the keyboard(shortcut for Properties).
2. To go to the Appearance tab, where this Color scheme is located, I press Ctrl+Tab.
3. Pressing Alt+ C will lead you to the Color Scheme portion, then select the available color scheme in which you can read the text.
4. I choose "Maple" color scheme.
5. By clicking "Apply" button, you will be able to read all the texts and the screen and background are now seems back to normal mode.
6. Clicking "Advanced" button on the same "Appearance" menu will enable to set up Inactive Window, Active Window and Message Text settings. In the "Item" portion, I chose Desktop and in the "Color 1" portion, I chose color blue. All other portions like Size, Font and Color2 are disabled.
And viola, problem was solved.

See screenshot below for the solution:














Thanks also to all of you guys who suggested me some possible solutions to resolve this problem.

Kudos to you!
