It's OK, my husband fixed it, but he's being smug at the moment. When I find out what he did, I will post it here. Thankyou for your time.

Well thanks for posting an answer, you have been extremely helpful...

My desk top icons are corrupted and I cannot access any programs including system restore and regedit. I have downloaded the files from dougknox but windows will not open them. The only solution is manually edit the registry.

Ad-aware SE plus is responsible for this but the problem being is I can't remove it because I cannot open the program. It's a common problem but their forums can't help me.

I've found how to system restore and regedit through the back door.

How do I edit my registry using regedit and the contents of Asaeth post? I don't know how to edit the registry in these circumstances?

Thanks for your help.
