HELP desktop is missing

from Stardock Forums
OK I am using windows xp home edition. I downloaded windowsblinds and now my desktop is missing. All I have is my wallpaper and a cursor. When I right click my mouse on my desktop it does nothing. I have uninstalled the windowsblinds and it didnt fix the problem. I also did a system restore and that didnt fix it either. Can someone please help me with this problem.

Downloads.net is not a download site. Did you mean download.com?

Download and save Cleandesktop to your computer from this link: http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/cleandesktop.exe and double click on the cleandesktop.exe

It will automatically extract to c:\desktopclean where it needs to be to run and will automatically run the cleandesktop.vbs script

If it doesn't open then go to c:\desktopclean and double click on the cleandesktop.vbs.

If you have script blocking enabled you will get a warning about a malicious script wanting to run. Allow this script to run. It is not malicious.

If you get a message when you first run it "Can not find script file *.*" just double click the cleandesktop.vbs script again.

It will then kill Explorer. You will lose your taskbar and desktop. It will repair the registry entries returning your normal desktop and context menu functions.

It will auto restart Explorer.
