Can I fix this? The pc is rendered useless without the fix or re-install. I have no back-up for all my files, I know I am a fool for not backing up my files daily, but what is done is done.

Question: Is there anywhere that I might look to find the culpret file in the regedit editor? From what I have managed to find on the Net, it involves the explorer.exe file and I don't know what to do to get to this infection, and I do not, under any circumstances, want to re-install my OS just to get rid of it. I try to run virus scan with Mcaffee, but nothing is found. That's as far as I want to go because I don't know where to go in regedit to find the culpret infected file to delete it. I managed to get to the run function to run regedit. Then they re-apear again, just to do it all over again. Symptoms: When I boot my pc, it comes up fine, with all the regular icons on the desktop and programs appear to be running, but then my desktop icons, and all files I might be trying to click on close down in a flash. There are no more available days to restore to. I cannot do a system restore because I cannot go back past the last time I tried to do it, which was two days ago. I cannot open task manager because I try but I get error message that says task manager was disabled by administrator.
