Is it my desktop being screw up?

[Nel]

Ooh.. for the space, I though you just type it in a speedy way so I didn't really bother it...

Yeah, I've just restarted my comp but it still the same and even in the registry entry there(C: /Desktop)... So now I changed it back again and restart one more time...

[GODJonez]

That thing still in registry even after changing it? Then you must have some program changing that. Must be some spyware or such. Time for a malware cleaning session?

[Nel]

Actually the past few days I've got a serious spyware/virus and it makes my desktop turn to red html page(instead of my wallpaper...) which allows me to click the 'demo version' but I didn't try it..

After a few attempt to get rip of them, my desktop is now blue in color and I can't right-click at all even inside the folder (its not my mouse problem because I can right-click on the taskbar ONLY)

I've tried spyware stormer, Ad-aware and avast professional edition... do you have any other recommendation??

[sniperrfl1011]

spybot SD, also, try MS anti-spyware...its pretty decent, and free

[polobunny]

Webroot Spysweeper. and a good antivirus scan just to be sure.

[Nel]

About the Spybot SD, is it ok for me to choose all to 'Allow to change' when there is a pop out for a registry had changed?

[sniperrfl1011]

Um, i'm not sure what you're talking about; is the pop up part of spybot or is it a windows dialouge box?

[Nel]

Part of spybot, asking me would I replace the old with the new registry.

[Panda Man]

i had a d/l go to the desktop, and every time i tried to move it or delete it siad windows was using it. lol its still there right now

[Nel]

Btw, GODjonez for the Registry Editor you taught me last time...
In the Shell Folder my 'Personal' is remain 'C: \Documents and Settings\XXX\My Documents' althought now the 'Common Desktop' are 'C: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop' everytime I restarted the comp..
and in the 'User Shell Folders' those Common AppData, etc... the Data is all stated at the first of '%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\**' instead of my own profile which is 'XXXPROFILE'
So, is it ok with that or is there any problem?

Err.... do you get what I trying to ask..?? �_�

[GODJonez]

Err.... do you get what I trying to ask..?? �_�

Err.... I'm reading it again

A minute later:

The personal folders (in HKEY_CURRENT_USER) should all point to your profile. The common folders (in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) should point to All users -profile. Of what I understood of your text, I think that is the case, so you should be okay

[Nel]

Glad you understand and thanks for telling me.

[Nel]

Oh yeah, I've forgot to ask about the right-click..
I can't seem to right-click at all, whether my cursor is on the desktop and inside the folder, but I can still right-click on the browser and the taskbar ONLY.
So.. what is the problem again??

[GODJonez]

That is crazy. The desktop, the folders AND The taskbar are all instances of EXPLORER.EXE. Does the menu appear, if you press the menu button on your keyboard? The menu button is the one between the Ctrl and Alt Gr on the right side (sometimes with another Windows-logo button).

[Nel]

I've just tried the menu button and its still the same like I using the mouse. I even move my cursor and click on the taskbar and try to use the menu button and it just work the same like the mouse too.
Yeah its crazy.....
