I remember a year ago a virus came out that reconfigured the Registry so that a user could not open any EXE file after you log in.
After you log in, is there an error box popping up saying that a file (possibly Winsvrc.exe) cannot be found?
Is there a new icon in the System Tray that looks like a blue eye?
If so, then these 2 conditions were due to this virus. I checked SARC, and it is the W32.Navidad virus.
Symantec has a tool to remove the virus.
Here is the URL to Symantec's write-up:

(please remove any spaces)

This virus was a pain, even after using the cleaner tool.
I hope I am wrong on this. Hopefully, you have some other problem.
