Hi there, accidently I think I recently selected most of my hard driv
to be hidden. I un did it soon as I realised that I had accidently mad
that mistake but now when I have un hidden everything I am getting icon
and directories which are mostly showing in 50% opacity.

Also when I go to start programs, there are only a limited number o
programs that I can select from, even the accessories level i
dissappeared. So to select the programs that I wish to run I have t
go through windows explorer. some new programs are showing properly i
start menu... but i really need to fix this can someone please sugges
how

If you have to reinstall everything, almost certainly what you did was
*not* a System Restore.

You should not have to reinstall everything after doing just a system
restore. You may just need to recreate a few shortcuts instead.
