Acerpower FH software uninstall causes icons to disappear

[Guest Carl Gross]

My office has Acerpower FH computers running XP Pro SP3. There is a lot of

proprietary software that is unnecessary and bogs them down at times so I

have been uninstalling the Acer programs. When I removed the Security

program, I lost all the icons, but all the titles, taskbar, windows are all

visible, just the icons have gone away.

 

I've looked at a good deal of help sites and they've said to try "Show

Desktop icons", go into the registry and remove the explorer.exe entry in the

HKEY_Local_Machine/ SOFTWARE/Microsoft/WondowsNT/... part, but there ius none.

 

Any suggestions? Since it happened after a security program removal, I

wonder if its an ownership issue?
