my desktop icons and toolbar have vanished
      #386628 - Sat Mar 01 2008 07:55 PM

hi all im new here, usually i can fix my problems on my own but this time i just cant figure it out, hope you can help.
i was downloading a program last night when avg said it found a virus, actually it was a trojan sheur. auua
shortly after that i lost all my desktop icons, ive tried everything to get them back but nothing works. i can open any program through my task manager but thats the only way. the problem seems to be the explorer.exe i can open it in task manager then all my icons reappear, but only for 10 seconds maybe. i read on this forum early today about something to try and fix it, so ive done this so far.
i downloaded the sdfix and ran it in safe mode like it said. it ran for about 25 mins doing all various fixes and deleting files etc. then i was asked to restart which i did, then when windows opened again it carried on with more fixes. so im at this point now where its done all that and the report.txt has been saved to the clipboard and saved in the sdfix folder. so am i missing something, do i need to do something else now because it still hasnt fixed the problem. hope ive explained everything, please help

Go here http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to line 195 on the right hand column and download the file. Save the REG File to your hard disk.

Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt.

If it doesn't work, go to the HiJackThis section of the forum, read the posting rules and post a log.
