Edit:

There are new variations of this scumware that are removing Restore Points as well as changing the Desktop appearance.

Be patient, sometimes it may take several reboots, wait for 5 minutes or so after each reboot and eventually your desktop will come back.  Then run the above programs and also create a new restore Point AFTER, as you do NOT want to carry then infection into Restore.
