Path to System Restore?

I have Windows XP Home.  I just removed a Trojan that changed my Internet Explorer, stopped my antivirus software etc..... I removed it, but I can't get to my System Restore function.  I get an invalid path message.  Going to Control Panel, Administrative Services, Services Shortcut, System Restore Services then Properties my "path to executable" is  C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs.  Can someone check their path and post it for me if it is different.  I think the virus changed this path.  I used Adaware, Hijack This, Spybot and CWShredder, which fixed all the other problems.   Thanks

    scottnlisa,

    That path is correct. The path to System Restore in All Programs|Accessories|System Tools|System Restore should be
    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe
