Troubleshoot:All my desktop icons have changed, unable to open files Error

All my desktop icons have changed, unable to open files

Hi,
I recently downloaded a Zip file, and I don't know what happened but after trying to open it all my files/icons on my desktop have changed to UTorrent.

Consequently, when I click to open anything it only opens the UTorrent.

I would like to know the most simpliest way to resolve this problem and to restore everyting as it was.  I am unable to download any software to be able to help me restore any files.   The only way I am connecting to the internet is via the Expat Shield software
which I have installed, by clicking connect, it allows me to access the net.

I have backed up my files on an external portable hard drive.  Do you think that I would need to go back to factory settings and start all over again?

Your kind assistance will be much appreciated.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone.

Regards

Pierina
