No Control Panel, can't open anything


I have seen several people with problems kind of similiar to mine on the
web, including this site, but nothing exactly the same. Here is my
problem:

1) Control Panel has disappeared!
2) Can't click on most desktop icons. I get the hourglass, then
nothing.
3) Can't use "run" for anything. Clicking "OK" just makes that screen
go away.
4) I found regedit myself. Can't click on it. It won't open. Same
result as #2.
5) Can't open System Restore. It won't open. Same result as #2.
6) Most icons within my computer won't open. Same result as #2.
7) Wordpad documents won't open or print. Same result as #2. They still
show .kbs taken up so they must still be there.
8) Documents on my floppies won't open up, either.
9) My .jpgs do still work.
10) Internet Explorer won't open, either. I'm on here by going into
Microsoft Outlook, which works perfectly, and going into any e-mail
message with a link. Clicking the link gets me into the internet. At
that point, Internet Explorer works fine.
11) When I started the computer today, the taskbar had a new icon
saying some Spyware was trying to take over my computer. I ran my Panda
Titanium Virus Scan and it did find a few infected files and fixed them.
It didn't change any of the above, though.
12) When I right click on My Computer once and select Properties I get
an error message that reads "This operation has been cancelled due to
restrictions in effect on your computer. Please contact your system
administrator."

My God, what has gone wrong? Does it sound at least like something a
computer professional that I can bring over here can still fix? How can
any of this be fixed when I can't click into almost everything?
