Last time I saw this (4 or 5 years back) it was an issue with an NT-style logon script that had been modified. IIRC, something in the script couldn't complete and was waiting indefinitely for input.

It has been happening throughout my organization, randomly. Rarely hits the same person twice in a row. They end up coming to me after trying to reboot 2-3 times, with no luck. I tell them how to go into task manager and start a new explorer.exe task, and all their icons pop up, and they are happy. However, I'm at the point of realizing there must be some underlying issue, as it is extremely widespread. The randomness is what really bothers me though, as there are rarely solutions for random issues. But, I'm hoping that you guys can come up with something. I have googled it, and there is plenty of hard disk space, and the registry keys are correct. (userinit, and shell) Any help/advice/tips are greatly appreciated.
