Hi, can anyone tell me which programme is used to open desktop icons please.
My daughter has messed her laptop up by somehow right clicking an icon and trying to open an icon by i think explorer and looking at it i think the bottom option where make all accessible this way was ticked,so none of the icons work now.I hope this makes sense and thanks for your time.

Apologies but your posting doesn't make much sense to me, however it sounds like it COULD be something to do with new new (horrible IMO) XP start menu.
Right-click on a blank area of your taskbar -> Properties -> Start Menu [TAB] -> [Select] Classic Start Menu -> OK.
Just a thought...

If you look on either the desktop or the start menu you have lots of icons for the various programmes.ie start/all programmes /accessories/system tools / etc. When i do it on mine they all have their own icon that will take you to which ever one you choose.ie system restore.On my daughters laptop all she has now is an E then the name (ie the explorer E-system restore)
She somehow has got all her icons to have the explorer E trying to open all her programmes.

I just did a test on my desktop and where you right click and look at properties on mine it says
Shortcut tab -
Target type - File folder
Target location - desktop
Target - c:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\spyware
on my daughters it says
Target type - Application
Target location - Spyware Blaster
Target - c:\programme files\spywareblaster\spywareblaster.exe
