something is wrong with my "explorer.exe" & desktop

[rtdos]

I found this out by accident: when i right click on any file on my desktop
the right click context menu does NOT show all options (such as OPEN or
EDIT) BUT or HOWEVER when I right click on my desktop thru Documents &
Settings with another explorer like program (such as 2x or A43 or even
Mini-Explorer) the right click context menu shows all options and functions.
Is there a fix?

That is one of the possible symtoms of the msblaster.exe worm.

You should check to see if you have it.
