Here's a fun one. I was trying to get rid of AdWare by deleting it from the registry. Whatever I did, Windows Explorer (not internet explorer) seems to not work.

The weird thing is though, my desk top still works as a base of operations for files. Also, if I go to save something somewhere, I have full access to all the folders and programs that reference folders (e.g. iTunes) but not if I attempt to get there via Windows explorer.

When I click on a folder on the desktop it says "C:\Users\Brow\Desktop\Files No such interface supported"

And of all the weird things, I can't save files from Paint (screenshots). I'm thinking I'll just scrap the thing and grab a new system.

Thoughts?
