HI.

Just wanted to say that I experienced the same problem with the icons on my desktop and I used the panda scan link and waited for it to complete. About halfway into the scan(after it picked up about 2 viruses and about 40+ spyware items..not sure if all were valid threats to my pc since I did take an internet security class and the professor did give us spyware software of which some were on my computer) my computer shut off. when I restarted it, I am now able to access all items on my desktop and most importantly, my internet explorer, my computer, and network places. even though my desktop didn't work, I still had access to realplayer and I was able to open a browser there so that I could access google to search the web for any solutions. That is when I was lead to you guys and then the link for panda scan.

Thanks so much for the advice. I ended up joining daniweb since it was such a help to me.

Hi,

I resolve it by installing Internet explorer 7, or by re-installing explorer 6, i think this problem is due to explorer files being corrupted, hope this helps everyone with similar problem.
