if you've got a copy of your OS, just boot to that, and reinstall windows, but don't reformat. just choose to install over existing OS. What this does is keeps everything the same, but sort of refreshes all the major components of windows.

I did this when I screwed up trying to make a dual boot system. windows wouldn't boot for anything, so i install xp over itself, and everything was fine. all my settings were fine, and my dektop looked the same as before i messed with it. really convenient if your not ready to reformat.

you might want to check microsofts knowledge base for all the details (step by step) on how to do this, as i forgot the details (its not hard, though)
