HELP!! Windows XP, IE, desktop shortcut, no permission to open

Hi people, this my first post on forums, long time read thou, best help on the internet, computer wise.

anyways..

i did a virus scan (panda and trend) and together they found 11 trojan downloaders, they wer removed, i found 15 spyware files, 4 IE hijacks,

after i removed them carefully, i keep getting a message ..

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. YOu may not have the appropriate permissons to access the item."

when i try open IE from the desktop icon, BUT i can run IE if i do START>RUN>iexplore.exe it works fine then,

there is something stopping me running "explore.exe" i have looked and looked in the processing memory but everything it as normal (same processes running)

thanks alot,

Chris,

 

I dont 'know but it's just a thought. Have you tried right clicking and select properties and than find the original IE.exe file in C:\Program Files\Where your Internet Explore is located and retpy the target path that's on your desktop. Since it seems your scanning program only changed the desktop version ya know or another way is to just create a shortcut from the start programs menu and just try getting rid of the old IE icon that's on your desktop.

 

hmm it just wont open iexplore.exe at all just that file name it wont open, and if i change it it makes a new file called iexplore.exe :-\
