It did not work I think something is wrong with my xp
since the program it restored was a Sim Tunes file called
Show Desktop.scf. Somehow the my file was damaged is
there a way to fix it?

Yes, installing Sims programs hijacks the SCF file extension. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Fixes, File Association Fixes, SCF File Association Fix.
