Desktop just did something REALLY wierd, ...

I simply right clicked an icon and didn't see the 'Run' option but there was a 'Run as...' option, so i clicked the 'Run as...' option. Suddenly, the desktop turned a tanish clor and I am now unable to left click or right click ANY of my desktop icons, what happened???? Is this a known virus of some sort??? Basically, to sum it up, I right clicked an icon, hit 'Run as...' to see what would happen, and then suddenly, the background went tan, and I can't left or right click ANYTHING, I have to access my programs through the 'Start' bar at the bottom. Someone help me please!!! this is really wierdDesktop just did something REALLY wierd, ...

[QUOTE=''NewClean'']clean install...just to recap, clean install[/QUOTE] what's that supposed to mean???? any1 out there that can help?
Yea do a system restore.
What exactly did you ''run as''?
I was opening Internet Explorer w/ Run as... and some screen came up w/ an option to run as 'current user' or 'new user', i clicked 'cancel' suddenly, the desktop went tan and I could not left or right click ANYTHING from the desktop, could only run things from 'start' button at the bottom. Update: managed to get icosn working again, however I am still unable to right click anything, and the icons have a tan outline around them. Should I just re-start and see what happens? Any1 know what this is????
Are you running XP or Vista?Yea I'd just restart, sounds like it had a bit of a random heart attack there :P.

I remember when I opened up a ''You won the state LOTTERY!'' E-mail once and I get that same tan screen of death...I think the virus was called ''Krack-a-Saurus'' or something...it was ridiculous, had to replace my HDD.And no, I am not joking.
