I have just created a detailed fix on how to remove the Smitfraud infection.
The fix can be found here:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/How_to_remove_the_Smitfraud_or_Wpexe_WindowsFY-t17258.html

Follow the instructions there and you will be able to get control of your
desktop again. This infection adds policies to your registry that takes
certain desktop options away.
