"No such interface supported" (Windows 7 Explorer not working)

[FunnyStarRunner]

I don't know how I just fucked my computer over, but now when I try to open Explorer, I get the same error message as the thread's title. Currently running both a virus scan and CCleaner to try and resolve this mess.

Does anybody else have any ideas on how to fix this?

[B]EDIT:[/B] All my shortcuts now end with ".lnk" and don't work anymore. This is beyond horrible.

[B]EDIT 2:[/B] Just restarted after a CCleaner cleanup and virus scan and it's still not working. Somebody please help me already.

That's exactly what I did and nothing's changed.

[B]I FIXED IT![/B]

All I had to do was give myself permission in the registry editor under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and boom! Explorer works again!

But now I have to remove ".lnk" in all the shortcut names.

Which virus scanner are you using, not all virus scanners are equal.
