Hi
I got a big problem
when starting my labtop Ad-Watch came up with a lot of warnings of for me unexpected
changes in the registery
which I all blooked
then windows asked which program to open some of the links on the disktop (not
which program the link linked to!)
.. . .
now most of the link-icons is gone
I can't run any *.exe not even explorer.exe (but something can run, I can see run
AdobeReader, see my foto's - and run explorer.exe by right-click in the start-menu
on the controlpanel (which gives the options OPEN or EXPLORER)

found out how to run RSTRUI.EXE at a restorationspoint 2 days back
but it did not help :-(((( !

Can anybody help
