hello everyone.

I am a very new user of Ubuntu. I know almost nothing about linux structure, so that i am here to learn something. i was playing with this COMPIZ application to make some cool changes in my ubuntu. Unfortunately i didnt know that using this application can be risky. So i made some changes on effects and it warned me that some effects and including unity something will be disabled and i didn't pay that much attention so the result is this program disabled everything i have on ubuntu. i can go back delete this application to retrieve my settings. Now i can browse only folders such as pictures and musics and so on. i cant open any application. Somehow i need to disable this Compiz and maybe remove it to return back to my actual settings. I tried every shortcuts but i wasn't able to open terminal, i even dont know how to delete or stop this Compiz even if i was able to start Terminal.
i will be very happy if someone can help me with my issue..
Thank you
