Some folders on my desktop won't open

I cant open My Documents or My Computer, internet explorer and a few others, it could be that I have buggerd it up myself
when trying to get rid of a virus. I would be most greatful if someone could help especially if it's put in simple terms for an idiot. Thanks for your time, finchy.

What OS? Any error messages?

No message at all just the little icon you get when waiting for a programme to load but if you move the curser away it dissapears, running M E

You may have to try reloading MS Windows...

Yeah, your missing some DLL files, which is usually due to a virus! DLL files missing can cause a whole series of faults, if your opertting system disk has a "repair" function use that, otherwise just re-install the entire OS
