After removing the Real Player, I can more open shortcuts to office.

Original title: How can I fix problem with shortcut

Wednesday, June 28, 11, I used IOBOT advanced system care 4 uninstall (uninstalling advanced deep) utility to remove real player.  I didn't know that he loose Windows Media Player 11.  WPM 11 has also been removed.   I couldn't open anything of my desktop shortcuts.  I tried to open IE7 with open with IE.  Does not open.  He converted all my desktop icons to open with IE.  Go help and support in the menu start for system restore, but could not access it.  So on the advice of the person of Tech of the company that built my desktop computer (measure locally) I used family my Widows XP Edition disc repair facility to try to repair Windows.  It worked.  Reinstalled SP3 and all updates and WMP11.  All my desktop shortcuts were still open with IE.  Could get the system restore, but the big problem is that I'm not able to go to any date before 06/28.  I sent an e-mail to Microsoft Help, indicating all of the above, but all I got was an email with a link on how to use the system restore.  I don't have any external drive that can hold 50 GB of data (I have a 80 GB hard drive).  Is there a way to fix it short of erasing the hard drive and from scratch?  I thought to delete all the shortcuts which are open with IE, but would then lose everything in the programs in the start menu.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you
