Hi

I just removed the Data Recovery spyware following the guide on this website, unfortunately before I found the guide I used CCleaner and deleted the temporary files before using unhide.exe, All my files are showing except for the desktop and start menu (when I click all programs they are all empty)
Is there anyway to restore them? System Restore? or will I have to reinstall Windows?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

In that case you'll have to restore all those items manually.

If the above does not work, then you can restore the defaults for the Start Menu and Administrative Tools as follows:

Then scroll down to "Method 3".
