So my desktop is blank all the time, I can't right or left click on it or make a box on it by left clicking and dragging. The desktop has no icons just the picture for the background.
I have to use windows task manager to browse my computer to get to anything. It happened after doing a virus scan with some doctor virus scan program.
I can't play any pc games on my computer because of it.
Have any ideas or something so I can have a desktop again?

iSystem, restore to a time prior? Sounds to me like your 'cleaner' deleted something critical. HTH. Ed in Texas.

iSystem, Go to the link below and scroll down to line 195(right column) and download the "Restore Desktop Icons and Taskbar" .vbs file. Save it to your hard drive (you may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done. Restart your computer.
