Error: Access to specified device, path or file is denied

This has happened to me Twice on 2 differnt workstations.
No one nor Microsoft has been able to give an answer to
this situation.
Workstation runs Windows 2000 SP 3 or 4.
After turning on the computer, there are serveral Broken
links on Desktop and Folders.
Also We can't run any Executable. Not even Regedit, Dos,
or .bat or an MSI file. If we can get our executale files
working again we will be able somewhat solve the problem.
Can not install or uninstall. No viruses or worms found.

What happens if you try to run Notepad.exe from Start>>Run. What is the
exact error message

Also check this. Connect to this problem computers registry from a remote
computer using regedit. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command.
What is the Default value? It should be something like "%1" %*
