I had a virus and spyware all has been cleaned. But the toolbars are greyed out. If i right click on taskbar and go to toolbars its all greyed out also quicklaunch is gone. I have done a install over 98SE with my 98SE disk and no luck. I scanned at housecall and no more infections were found.

Also in the folders the view as webpage has gone bye bye. I go to folder options and classic style is the only one custom is greyed and webstyle is greyed out. I have tried resetting defalts no luck.

I think your active desktop has been disabled:

You should probably install tweakui if you don't have it already. Be sure to download the 9x version:

The fix in the old experts-exchange thread says to click the 'enable IE4'. I think the tweakui version they're talking about is an older one as the above download doesn't seem to have that option. Try checking the active desktop references in the IE tab.
You can ignore the recommendation to run SFC as that won't fix anything.

If it is just the active desktop this may help:

Hi Win98User, DAVEINCAPS, CHKDSK, hi everyone
A bit of long shot...
See if you can find any of the following keys in your registry and change it's value to 0 if set to 1, or to 1 if set to 0.
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
Name: NoToolbarCustomize
Name: NoBandCustomize
Name: NoToolbarsOnTaskbar (Windows XP only?)
And another long shot...
Try to repair the taskbar by deleting the entire "StuckRects" key in:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
StuckRects]
Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. One cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.
Best Regards and Wishes,
