My desktop icons aren't showing up.?

The start bar does show up, though. And when I look at the desktop file in a folder, all my icons are in there. But not on the desktop itself.

I can't right-click the desktop.

I already went to the task manager and removed explorer.exe and started it up again. It didn't work. So I went to safe mode and restarted the internet from there. It still didn't help.

I just removed a virus from my computer just before this happened and had to use an online sweep during safe mode, and that got rid of the virus, but now I have the desktop problem.

I'm not sure what to do, and we don't have much money to spare for a repairman... So I was hoping someone here could help me?

Thank you, if you can!

Oh, one more thing. When I click 'Start->All Programs' It's empty... But they still work if I open them with 'run' or hunt them down in the folders.
