when i right click an empty space on my desktop to go to properties all i get is a general tab with the following---
protocol: File Protocol
Type: HTML Document
Connection: Not Encypted
Address URL: file://C:\Windows\privacy_danger\index.htm
size: Not available
created: Not available
modified: Not available

and a 'certificates' button that when clicked shows a message that says 'This type of document does not have a security certificate'

i am the only user of this pc that has this problem all the other users have their active desktops working properly.

HELP pls...
