Repair Vista

I am running Home Premium on a single-user desktop and, today, when I click
on Start|Control Panel I get my Power Desk equivalent of (My) Computer.
Prior to this I was dealing with what I thought was a copy of my Vista boot
partition on another drive that arrived there during some drive restoration
maneuvers. How do I repair Vista?

Do you use Power Desk? Have you changed the options in PD, General
Settings, to "Use PowerDesk to open My Computer and folders" by any chance?

I had that option turned on in PD but, if fact, since I moved to Vista that
has not worked. Of course, regardless of that PD setting, PD should not open
when one clicks on Control Panel. The ption you mention is now turned off,
to no effect. PD opens when I click on Control Panel or on Computer.

I think I got into this by erasing a copy of my boot partition that somehow
got on to another drive and thereby deleted some common file, perhaps a
driver. Now I need to repair things. If I boot from a CD, it does not see
the correct partition letter and says there are no restore points.
