Cannot open desktop icons (except MS office programs)

[kevinandlusine]

Hello
Even when I right click on the icons there is no option of "open or open with" in the dialogue. I cannot open them through start-programs-etc. Please help. I can only access the browsers when I go to run and type in a prompt and the "windows cannot open this file" pops up and i choose "use a web service to open this program". This opens a browser and away I go.
Please help. Thank you

Which Windows? This might get a better answer on the Microsoft forum.
