Is there any solution to this. Every time I log in, I have to manually start explorer.exe from Task Manager > New Task(Run) > Explorer.exe
I am on Winodws 7 64 Bit.

What starts instead? What caused your system to start doing this? Was it malware? Is your account set up as a "kiosk"?

I get a blank screen, with the base desktop color (mine is blue background)... Then I proceed to click CRTL+SHIFT+ESC to start the Task Manager and run Explorer.exe manually

Check the Shell value for Winlogon in your registry. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
should show:
Shell REG_SZ explorer.exe
Or download this tool: Download
This utility checks for the correct GINA value in the Registry and will allow you to restore it, if its incorrect.
try this too
Start > Run , type in 'regedit' (without the quotes of course) in the search box .
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon.
In Winlogon, on the right side, there should be a value called "Shell".
Double click this value. Make sure only 'Explorer.exe' is the value of Shell, if anything else is there , simply delete it and leave 'Explorer.exe' . Close out the window and restart....
start>run>msconfig click on startup, make sure Explorer.exe is checked on
See if that works..
