Major problems!

So, Imgburn was having difficulties installing for me, so I went to the website and contacted the people there, and even went around asking about it.

I finally got it to install with their help, but something went horrible wrong. While it was installing, I was watching a home video of some kitties I took yesterday (which is what I wanted to burn on disk for my friends), and after Imgburn installed, the desktop freaked out.

I hide the desktop because the computer goes faster for me, and right clicked and showed the desktop. The browser thing (the bar at the end and stuff) said it was frozen and kept restarting and starting. So I ninja'd and deleted the icon of Imgburn off the desktop as fast as I could and it made it so I could see the desktop again. Thought it was fixed.

But now, after the player (VLC; mkv file) playing the video of the kittens shut down, ALL the icons and installed programs have taken the icon of IMGBurn and refuse to open to anything they are supposed to be. So I thought "okay, okay...don't freak out." and uninstalled Imgburn. It seemed to have worked for a few moments and the icons returned to normal. But as soon as I clicked one, it opened to IMGburn! Even though I uninstalled it. :(

I went to system restore, but it only went as far back as uninstalling IMGBurn and now that's not even there.

Here is an example of what is happening:

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to reinstall Windows 7, and that might not even work. :(

It also won't let me repin things to the taskbar, after I removed them. And any shortcuts take on the IMGBurn icon too.
 
Bad news. When I opened up Firefox to make this thread, it changed all the icons to Firefox instead of Imgburn.

@voyagerfan99:

How do I run it as a CMD prompt? :o

@johnb35:

Alright, I'll do that now. *gotta download the installer again*

@MyCattMaxx:

I did not know I could not do that. :eek: I've done it before and had no problems, though they were only small programs like notepad or snapshot.

EDIT:

Nevermind. I think I ran it right! :D I also used a Microsoft association separate file to fix the .ink types, and restarted the computer. Nearly everything works fine! :D Thanks guys; this is a massive problem, it seems, to a lot of other Windows 7 users, and most of them have not fixed the problem, unless they reinstalled 7.

However, whenever I have any video file on the desktop or anywhere, and try to open the location of the file, it shuts the computer browser done completely, making the location the video file shares, inaccessible.

Is there any solution for that, or a reason why it happens? I can't seem to view any videos now...

I don't understand your problem.
 
Hmm, it is pretty hard to describe. Okay, let me see if I can rephrase.

Say I took an .AVI or .MKV video off my memory stick or another computer and placed it on the desktop of the computer I am using now. After I did so, the desktop reports a freeze (Windows Explorer freezes/stops working) and forces a restart, or to find a solution online.

Like this (except it doesn't say "debug", it says "restart"), but it, instead, happens every single time I right click the desktop to show the contents (when I click "show desktop") while the video file is present, or if I try to go to any other location where video files are located.
