Thanks for the answers. We are traveling, and maybe the ND roads shook it's brains too much!
I'm writing this on my old computer (can you say slow), we access internet with Vz MyFi, but the computer never gets to make a connection.
I will attempt to start it again, and just let it go.
Normally, if there's an auto-update, or configuring Windows after applying updates, you'll see a warning not to shut down until it's finished. Still, won't hurt anything to let it perk for awhile to see what happens.
If you wait an hour and still have no icons, boot back into safe mode. Run msconfig, go to the startup tab and start unchecking stuff. Hardly anything in startup is really required to run Windows. If that gets you running again, then you can add startup items back, one at a time until you find the one that breaks it again.
