What is the OS ?

I'd be guessing Vista, as is an issue that pops up there from time to time.

I'd still follow Rik's advice first just to eliminate possibility of infection, but if not look at link below. Had same issue once early on in Vista, which had me banging head against wall, as ruled out infection pretty quickly. Now was a couple of yrs back, so had to do some hunting till came across solution that rang the old memory bells.

One thing to know - don't be alarmed if there isn't a "Desktop" entry in the "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\" folder - as far as I can tell, when all is as it should be, that entry doesn't exist (at least in Vista/Win7), so may find even after adding the entry will be cleared after lil while.

Anyhoo, sing out if still stuck
