problem with links in startmenu

[tactical.construct]

certain system links wont work in the start menu:

When clicking on My Pictures, i should see the contents of My Pictures
When clicking on My Videos, i should see the contents of My Videos
When clicking on My Music, i should see the contents of My Music
When clicking on Control Panel, i should see the contents of Control
Panel

This does not happen. Instead:

When clicking on My Pictures, i see the contents of My Documents
When clicking on My Videos, i see the contents of My Documents
When clicking on My Music, i see the contents of My Documents
When clicking on Control Panel, i see the contents of My Documents

I also ran into another issue that I think is related.

I just tried to bring up my E drive (CD-RW) in run...

Start---> Run
*typing* e:\

Window pops up with my documents displayed, not contents of CD drive
Upon further exploration, i discovered that even typing in a full path
will result in bringing up an explorer window of MY DOCUMENTS. For
example:

run: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music
returns
My Documents

It seems the problem is a malware/virus.

Clean your system using these utilities:
Anti-Spywares:Ad Aware and Spybot
Antivirus: Antivir(www.free-av.com)

Do tell me if this helps
