File does not have a program associated with it

[Guest MEL7]

Have PC with windows xp sp2

After virus attack now receive the following msg on shortcuts, control panel

and

direct access to programs after START.

 

The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action

create an association in the folder options control panel.

also that the appl failed to init properly 0xc0000006

 

cannot perform system restore, restore starts under safe mode but after reboot

system restore cannot complete 'program not found'
