I have been using Windows XP for Home on my Dell Inspiron 8200 Lap Top since I purchased it in August, 2002. Approx. 3 - 4 months ago, I started having problems with the following programs running:

Desktop Items Not working
- Recycle Bin
- "Classes" (created folder)
- "Screen Savers" (created folder)
- Internet Explorer
- "Unused Desktop Shortcuts"

Programs Menu Items Not Working
- My Documents
- My Pictures
- My Music
- My Computer
- My Network Places
- Control Panel


I tried loading the OS in the "Dianostic Startup" and even with very few processes running, I still have this problem.
My Virus protection is up to date.
I have run Ad-aware recently.

Does anyone know what my be causing this?

Thanks!!
