Basically I tried everything I could think of, all that you have already 
suggested. What is a bit concerning is I dont have right click on any of 
the icons, I cant even right click on the desktop. So I'm wondering if 
its a 10.10 problem. I thought it might have fixed itself with a clean 
install, but nope.
