My laptop won't finish booting up, help please!?

I have a Dell B130 laptop with windows xp home. When I start it up it will boot all the way until it sees my wall paper and stops there. No icons on the screen, no menu, nothing but my wall paper photo. What should I do to make it go further so I can use it? Thanks for a quick response.

    Once you see your wallpaper, type Ctrl-Alt-Delete all at once. From there click run (or 'Start New Porcess'). Enter explorer.exe
