problem with desktop and IE6

Computer is using windows 98se, with zone alarm and avast antivirus programs

yesterday, someone used the computer and when i started it up last night there was a problem with the desktop and Internet explorer 6.

The desktop screen has gone white (although the shortcuts are still there) and the IE browser is now showing a white background and the font is a strange size too.
[FONT=&quot]I have tried to reload the desktop using the properties button but no luck. Im guessing these two problems are related as this has happened last night- has someone deleted something.
Bizarrely i use firefox browser and this is working perfectly with all the background colours. I have tried a scan and all is clear.
