removed CWS_NS3 but desktop still isn't restored
Hello all,
I just spent the entire weekend getting rid of that stupid CWS_NS3, however there is another layer on my desktop........in front of my webshots wallpaper and behind my desktop icons. It is just a white screen and I cannot seem to get rid of it. When I right click on it, I go to view source and it shows me this file:

The name of this file is screen.html and I went into C:\WINDOWS\screen.html and deleted it..........and even though it is gone and deleted, I still have this white desktop. Any ideas on how to get rid of this?

war1 and rossfingal,
Both your suggestions did not work, unfortunately. I really need to find out what file is generating this C__WINDOWS_screen. I found the location of it......under C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033. I'm at work now and checked to see if that file is on my computer and it isn't! Please please.....I need more suggestions.......and yes, I completely got rid of the infamous CWS_NS3. I'm thinking it damaged some files and those are the ones I need to fix.
rossfingal, when I merged the background reg file, I did notice the change in the C__WINDOWS_screen, but all it did was replace my webhots background to just a normal blue background. I noticed this by looking at the code in C__WINDOWS_screen. I will post the hijackthis file when I get home tonight.
