Please make sure you remove the hidden bit from all files, too.<br />
Also, look at the the All Users folder, since parts of the icons can come from there.

This issue with all profiles? Is active desktop turned off?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a client computer which had 2 virus files on it located in <br />
: All Users\Application Data\18865972.exe<br />
and<br />
:All Users\Application Data\BSmhngDEPflVv.exe<br />
<br />
Malwarebytes was able to remove them both.<br />
<br />
Only thing now is the desktop icons are no longer on the desktop and it seems like the deskop is no longer functional.<br />
<br />
i can not right click on it.<br />
If I havigate to the desktop folder in Windows explorer all icons are there. &nbsp;The folder was hidden so I unticked that in properties, but still no active desktiop or icons. &nbsp;We also lost the taskbar icons<br />
<br />
Can anyone advise how to fix this?<br />

Windows XP Desktop lost icons and taskbar

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
