Why don't I have to use Ctrl + Alt + Delete to use my computer?

My PC starts directly from the windows 7 desktop.  How ever I can not click on the Start button.  If I open a desktop application I can't click any function on it once it is open.

To have access to my PC, I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  So I have to left click anywhere on the screen (not any text or button).  Then I can click on the Cancel button.  Once I did, I can use my programs as usual.  I have to do this every time I start my PC.  This problem exists from the outset, even though I have repeatedly re-installed Win 7 as a 32-bit and a 64 bit OS.  Since the first office sometimes.
I have also not drag and drop functionality.  I can't drag my around my office desktop icons, for example in the trash.  This was not always the case and it takes place after the service of some or other update.  I spent this morning of uninstallation of updates as much as possible, until finally after a reboot, I could drag and drop from the desktop icons.
A program that was unaffected by the problem of drag / move is iTunes.  I can drag tracks/albums from iTunes to a windows Explorer folder, but not a file Explorer windows to another.  I have to use the dialog box copy - paste on the right click of the mouse.
What this problem is, it also affects Google Chrome by preventing the features left click on any of the control buttons.  By clicking a new tab, close...
I'd appreciate a lot any input on that.
My best regards,
Duncan

Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
-
You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
-
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
`
When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and it puts regular periodic updates.

I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    Why my computer keep freezing? I have to press ctrl + alt + delete and then cancel for his release.

    grandpa7,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    Can you tell us a bit more about what's going on just as the computer crashes?  This than that when you use your computer to browse the Internet, or by running a program such as a game or office?  He does it every time he's just sitting idle?  Your computer is a laptop or a counter top and what is the make and model?

    When it freezes, bring up the Task Manager and click the processes tab to see which processes are using most of the time CPU.  What can tell you if a program or a particular process is the cause of freeze.

    One of the main reasons for this type of behavior is a virus, spyware or malware.  Run a full system scan on your computer with the help of a good virus scanner and spyware such as Microsoft OneCare: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm?s_cid=sah/?s_cid=sah or Trend Micro Housecall: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/.

    Alternatively, you can run the System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files:
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
    Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

When I click on Firefox to open it, the full window appears briefly, then the whole screen is filled with the opening page Firefox.

    Hello

    Since Windows XP, in the last several versions of Windows, there are many changes for the names and locations of some Windows system folders .

    To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points. A junction Point is designed to redirect programs more alumni who are hard coded to look for the former name of folder for the new file name and the location in Windows.

    An example is the C:\Documents and Settings folder. The new name and the location of this folder is C:\Users. In Windows 8, you will see a folder C:\Documents and Settings , but it should be noted that this record contains a shortcut arrow on the folder icon. He identifies it as a junction.

    Junction points all than its guarantee of value everyone = access denied.

    Note: Do not attempt to modify the security settings on a junction. This can cause programs to stop work and possibly corrupt the file system.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
