I have lots of adware and spyware on my computer so i downloaded the Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner from download.com. I got directions to remove a specific type of adware. One of the directions was to:

Start the registry editor . This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type
regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.) Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID\
{0494D0D1-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC}', if it exists

However I was rather stupid and in stea of deleteing {0494D0D1-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} from under CLSID, I deleted CLSID. I noticed this immediately but didn't think much of it. But when I restarted my computer the screen showed up but an error message popped up saying that "Explorer" had an error and would shut down immediately. It did and after I closed that window nothing loaded on the screena nd I was left with my mouse pointer and my wallpaper on the screen, and nothing else. I really don't know what to do and need immediate help. Please help me with thisa problem, any help is greatly appreciated!

Win98, boot to DOS and enter

SCANREG /RESTORE

Choose the date that you made the boo boo

WinME, boot with your startup disk and enter the same command
