Unable to create new folders on desktop

same error when I try to create a shortcut.

It started about four months ago

I believe it started when i used some program to fix reg errors but i am not sure which program it was

I dont what program it was I didn't know to back up and I dont remeber the prog asking. I now have back up s from everything since late august.

This is the value that was present rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewLinkHere %1

I copy and pasted this value RunDLL32 AppWiz.Cpl,NewLinkHere %2 and it did the same thing.

So, I changed back to the original value.

It did not work

Not many. My Desktop is pretty clean.

I found this http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windowsxp/187615/New-Folder-not-working
it says it sounds like a corrupt user profile. I created a new user profile and I can create folders on desktop.

there's a link on How to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile.

sounds like too much work to transfer all of my files. I would rather find what is corrupted (even if it takes a little time ) and fix it. I want to learn to fix any problems with my OS, I guess this is a start . Is there a way I can find and overwrite or correct the values in the reg ?

Any and All help is Greatly Appreciated... Thank You
