Default Major Issue

Hey, recently, my computer has had major issues. I cannot open any folder on my desktop. If I try, the desktop resets itself (goes blank and goes back to what it was before i clicked on the folder). The only way I can get to anything on my computer, I have to go to explorer and type in the address to the files.

Sometimes, if I leave my computer on, the desktop completely disappears... all except the background picture. Strangely though, everything is still running (according to task manager)

Could this be a windows problem?

I figure it is most likely a virus problem but I just want to know if anyone knows what is going on... (ive scanned my comp 6 times and it cant find anymore viruses)

I am sick of wiping my computer and re-installing everything. My brother (who is a really smart comp wiz) suggests I manually restore the system registry. I have faith that that could work. I just wanted to run this through overclock and see if anyone knows any other solutions.

If anyone can gime some help.. that would be great.. thanx!
