Try to install Imgburn and let me know if you are able to run it:
http://www.imgburn.com/
You should be able to run any program from the task manager (when you do CTRL SHIFT ESC) if you then click on File > New task (Run), then browse to whatever file/program you want to run. Everything should be somewhere in Program files0 -

I have loaded that program and it works.
I found chrome via the task manager but it did not do anything.

Paste the following in Notepad and save it as RefreshIcons.bat
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib –h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer
Save the file someone easily accessable
To access it go to the task manager, then go file and run task. Browse to the file and choose it.Estate Agent, Web Designer & All Round Geek!0 -
