O.P. Badly Needing Help =[
I am unable to open anything as all proggrams have changed to a .lnk and thats not just on the desktop, its also on my quick launch and start menu.
I have tried going into safe mode and system restoring from there as i can't system restore in normal mode and i tried it to a week back as it only happened yesterday.
And when i turn my computer on, before the log on screen a big box comes up with two little boxes in like this: [][].
Help Plz =[
EDIT: solution is here: click

Have you tried restoring it back from within two days?
Have you done anything recently related to the problem? Installed/changed anything ect..?

No, because the minimum day it'll let me system restore is to a week ago.

Can't see that they'd cause any problems.

Try booting up in safe mode and then scanning for viruses and spyware.(make sure to update your anti-virus software first.)

try deleting the entire file/folder via command prompt [NOT the safe mode command prompt].
The command:
del [location of you file/folder]

Example:
deleting a file:
del C:\users\test\delete\file.jpg
OR
del "C:\documents and settings\test user 123\file.jpg"
deleting an entire folder:
del C:\users\test\delete\*
OR
del "C:\documents and settings\test user 123\*"


restart your pc thereafter
hope it'll help

Problem with Command prompt:
Windows Cannot open this file:
File: cmd.exe

Then i clicked: Use the web service to find the appropriate program and on Microsoft site it says this:
File Type: Unknown
Description: Windows does not recognize this file type.
EDIT: xJ + has been trying to help me and Command Prompt will not open either by run or by start menu
