Got rid of the malware, now I need to get desktop back

Unread postby Preferred User » October 26th, 2009, 6:52 pm

My physical therapist crashed her computer and being a good guy I offered to help.

When I first booted up the computer I just got the wallpaper no other functionality. System would not boot into Safe Mode without BSOD.

I used UBCD4Win backed up her files and removed the malware and viruses. I imported Registry keys to restore Safe Mode functionality. However I still cannot restore the desktop even in Safe Mode. Also there is no keyboard functionality so I cannot access Task Manager to manually start explorer.exe.

Is there anything short of an OS reinstall to fix this?
