No Programs Open Besides Internet Explorer

So I am running the Windows 7 Home Permium 64bit and I am having quite the problem. None of my programs will open. It seems like the olny thing that will open is Internent Explorer, paint, actual folders, those kinds of things. Nothing else will open such as iTunes, Malwarebytes to scan for anything, not even flashplayer will open to watch YouTube. I've tried starting it in safe mode and still nothing will open. Ive run a diagnostic test to see if it was the hardware and everthing checked out okay. I have even tried SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker and that came back negative. So I am out of ideas. Anyone know what to do?

I would start with a malware scan using malwarebytes.

Yeah, nothing opens. Only the same things that open when I start it normally.

I assume it was working and something happened and it sropped.


Do you have a backup?

Do you have the Win7 dvd?

I don't have either of those...

Your options are very limited.

What happened to cause this situation?
