problems.

I use Windown XP SP1 operation system.

It looks like you are still heavily infected. Try to perform more
anti-spywares and antivirus scans. To show your desktop icons use Kelly's XP
tweaks "Enable or Disable Desktop Icons"

Instruction are on the top of the page.

Hello,

1) Try the registry fix at this site
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 72, Column 1

2) Locate EXPLORER.EXE in the task manager Processes list. If it does not
exist, go to File > Run > EXPLORER > OK

Not sure about the USB folders though. What error messages do you get?

Consider updating to SP2 by downloading the update here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You should also visit Windows Updates or enable Automatic updates to receive
the latest updates in addition to SP2.

And what did Spyware Doctor Support have to say?
