Wierd issue with XP

by coyboss . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine that has begun to act strange.

All his short cuts on the desktop only open the printer dialogue box, none do what they are supposed to.
When you right click there is no option to open/ or open with, only options are to make short cut, delete,…

When you clik start button,
run creates a short cut
Internet Explorer creates short cut
Search only creates short cut
My Computer works right
Control panel works right
My Documents works right.

None of his icons or start menu options will allow you to right click and open or open with.

Could there be some sort of virus or other malware that would cause this type of issue?

Am currently running scan with Norton Enterprise edition for viruses (updated 2/20/09)

Thanks in advance.

IKE
