need help: modified user shell folder and now have no permission to access anything

Dear all,

I had a problem installing sofware: invalid drive f:

so, I reset 3 entries in my user shell folder to the default. Now, access any of my program files, links... etc:

Windows cannot find the specified program,... you may not have appropriate permision ...

I am the admin on this computer (home laptop)

The thing is, the three modified paths were set to F;\ western digital... a drive that hasnt been plugged in for ever...

how can i reverse this without reinstalling: I tried sysrestore.. but it said it didnt have permission to restore

Please help... I dont want to have to re-install
