Man my computer turned into some kind of virus machine with all of them everywhere! I'm a beginner at computers, but I do know a few things about them besides the color they come in and how to turn the screen on...
A couple days ago i logged into my computer as usual, nothing seemed to be going wrong, and then boom!.. all i see is my cool desktop background but nothing else.. i remembered ctrl + alt + delete and opened up the task manager.
For some reason I felt like typing in explorer.exe, and I didn't know why, but then everything was alright again!..
Today I came home, slept a little because I had a cold.. and then with a huge headache I managed to turn the computer on. I have XP, and they have profiles or accounts whatever listed and then you put the password in to log in.
I did log in, and then... no more desktop again!.. Felt like killing this virus dude whoever he was.. man already I had a bad day and this just made everythin worse.
I was smart enough to type in firefox in the task manager and then phew!.. I have hope!.. and then I found Windows BBS.. don't ask me how, it just popped into the computer..
But the real question is.. what do I do now?
It's like everything in my day is gone wrong no matter what I do..
I have a feeling I won't get this fixed....
I'll appreciate the help much!

Explorer.exe is not a default subkey under the Image File Execution Options key, but is often used by malware, as suggested in the comments here, which also explains a bit about those keys/values. I'd recommend you read this then start a topic in the Malware and Virus Removal forum.
