As I restarted my system it said there was a problem at the registory and needs to be restored, I restarted and typed at command promt "scanreg /restore" I have chosen the olders one which was saved 4 days ago. It restarted. Now the system looks to be working perfectly except it can't open any application even internet. This is the message I recieve as I try to open internet, "Windows cannot find "iexplorer.ex" This Program is needed for opening files of type "internet Explorer"
on that same error box it shows my harddisk drive letter which is "C:".

I checked the Programs in the Program files folder but Nothing is there!!!!
Please help me
thanks in advance.

Problem: program files is empty.
Cause: files have been deleted!

solution: find them. run scandisk, see if you find any DIR000 CHK files etc blah blah that might be your missing program files directory.
It is likely that both registry and file system problems in quick succession mean that you have a virus. It could also be that the drive is failing. Either way, back up all important files now.
