Unresponsive shortcuts, system files and folders

S

Sondi

After installation of a Spyware program that almost
wiped out my entire computer, I have pretty much got
everything caught up except my display and some system
locating issues. Most of the shortcuts and file, folder
icons on my desktop generate no response when I attempt
to open them. They are dead-ends, but do not generate an
error message. I have also found that I cannot create a
shortcut from any of my drives onto my desktop.
Troubleshooting guides do not seem to be providing a
resolution. I have already tried re-installing windows
and it's updates, doing it again just doesn't sound like
much fun. Where should I go from here? Thanx

under win XP fixes look for file association fixes.
Good Luck
