I am having problems with XP. Everytime I click on an
icon I get the error message " cannot find c:\program
files\ xxxxxxx (depending what im trying to open)

In explore you can see all the files are ther but you
cannot open them because when I click on a file I get the
same error message canoot find c:\xxxxxxx

I recently had a virus and had to delete some files and I
think i deleted some system files and this has caused my
problem.

Can anyone help?
 
I had something like this occur under WIN 98 when I had a
virus. I suspect your file associations might be hosed.
Do the icons associated with the files when viewed in Win
Explorer look right; i.e. a .doc file shows the correct
icon, etc.? If not, then that's your problem.

As I recollect, I think I used TweakUI to fix this. Look
on this MS sight for it or search for in on the web.
Might also be another way to fix this. Search the web for
solutions.
