Try a System Restore to before you did this.
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
Restore my computer to an earlier time.

Hi Nikolas

As well as having "Use drop shadows for icon labels" checked, and
Arrange Icons by > Lock Web items UN-checked;

~You mustn't have any web content on your desktop. Look in
Display Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web -- all the
checkboxes should be clear;

~Your wallpaper must be an image file, like .jpg or .bmp, not
html. It sounds like you may be using html wallpaper.

Hope this helps.
