Try system restore. It's START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/SYSTEM TOOLS. Make sure no programs are running before you start, and follow instructions.
Let me know.

well it certainly seems you put your self on the spot here
if you have an xp cd then try to run a repair with it if it becomes unlikely that you can do this
your left with one other option
i cleaned a computer it had 4 user accounts all infected but it also had three system 32 folders one i recognized to be false between the other 2 you could play heads or tails with because its such a large folder i had snphots taken of different sections and emailed back to my selfo na clean computer i started to compare ...turns out one had a notepad that was running the computer with malware...without the aid of a new computer i couldve severly damaged the computer if i delete the wrong folder or files in it
consult with the experts here at geeks before you delete any type of folders or files there was the possibility i could of been vundo trojan ....that couldve been an easy fix here at the geeks malware forum
anyway good luck
