    Try to reinstall system restore: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairsr.htm

    Let's see, if we can recover your missing features.
    Download and run UnHide
    Let me know, if it worked.

    Unfortunately that would be the only way to go.
    My manual here may help a bit: http://www.smartestcomputing.us.com...iles-hiddendeleted-by-windows-recovery-virus/ (scroll down to "Method 3 ").
    Your severe infection did too much damage.

    I guess there are no results for that step.
    Thank you broni! You have been awesome. I don't think I have ever received this level of service for something I've paid for, let alone a free service. You guys are amazing!

    btw - just noticed my system restore service did start at the last reboot - so apparently that got fixed along the way since I last looked.
    Thanks so much!

    Aha! Thank you yet again - AppPaths might come in handy, but admintools and accrestore definitely came in handy.

    UnHide also seems to have done the trick - it even restored my "Links" which I didn't expect - although, now I'm not sure I like this because in IE8 it show up next to favorites and thats a bit annoying - but I'm sure there is a setting for that (yup - there it is, hid the favorites bar). Looks like I'm better off than before I knew I had viruses. Thanks again
