control panel problem

[Guest]

I recently found that I had a trojan virus. I was able to delete it but it
affected my control panel. When I click on control panel my desktop goes
blank of icons for a second and then they return but there is no control
panel. I looked in system32 and all of the .cpl files are there. I am not
sure what to do. I have already reinstalled windows and have swept my
computer with adware, spyware doctor, and macafee. I still cannot do the
control panel. Everything else seems to be working fine. HELP.

1. Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
2. In the Command Prompt window type: SFC /SCANNOW
and hit enter. Have your Windows XP CD available.

SFC = System File Checker. SFC will scan your system and replace
missing or damaged XP system files with the correct version.
