My System Is Windows XP. Pro

Hi again

Well.. Lately I've found in the System some unfamiliar Links/Extentions & Application under the name : MAIL IS SAFE ,, So I deleted them and I went on and I Deleted Their Keys and subkeys from the REGISTRY aswell .. But before I did that I made a Restore
Point and I made a Registry Back up and I saved it.. SO now after I did that bad move,,,, what happened is that all my : accessories and System Tool's Links buttons and Icons,,, All my EXE,,and Keyboard Short Cuts,,, All My Windows Help Links And
Icons,,,,,,Every Thing Changed !!! They are not links any more .. Even the Registry Back Up I made and The System Restore Icon and The Help And Support tabs and all EXE links and Short Cuts They dont open nomore !!!! They Became Like: White Files w
ith 3 colored dots inside !!!!!!! If I can Get To Open The SYSTEM RESTORE WIZARD or The Registery Back Ups That I Made, I would be able to Restore and Back Up every Thing The way It Was.. But How Can I Do That .. I Dont Know How But I'm Sure Some
one out there knows how.. So Please Help Me... I'm Afraid to Restart The System Because I Might Lose It All .. At Least Iam Still Connected So I can Get Help On The Net..
Im Glad I had The Link Of This Page Saved on my Favorites .. It worked .. It didn't fail to bring me down here ...
Well Once Again Please Help Me...
Thanking You

Hi Remay,

Try invoking System Restore from a Command Prompt:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=304449

If that doesn't solve the problem, d/load and run EXE Fix for Windows XP and
Link File Fix for Windows XP (both are on line 12):
