| | Cannot open any file from desktop I recently uninstalled a small program & something went very wrong. My Windows 7 is totally screwed. When I double- click on any icon on the desktop I get : "Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item." It seems to be a security issue or else the Explorer has lost the mapping info for my C drive. I also can,t get the virtual disk service running, which means I can't do a repair install because the installer can't see my disks. |

| | I did a system restore to 2 restore points before the problem, and it is still showing up, both times. I can't even do a clean install if I wanted to. |
