Sounds to me like explorer got corrupted by the sudden restart.
You want to reboot but interrupt it and get a dos prompt (Or use a boot disk)
Run system restore and restore it to a point before the RESTART OF DOOM.
I forget the exact way of interrupting XP, it's either F8 or F12, failing that half way through the boot up just reset and it'll present you with the option next time.
