Shortcuts Don't Work

Lady Dungeness - 21 Jun 2007 18:25 GMT
I've got a new install of XP Home SP2 and most of the updates.  Just a few
minutes ago, my shortcuts quit working.  None of them work -- shortcuts that
Windows put on the Quick Launch bar, in the Start Menu; shortcuts that I
made and put elsewhere -- none of them work.  When I click, nothing happens.

I rolled back using System Restore, to a point where I knew the shortcuts
were okay.  They still don't work!

Suggestions, please?

M'Lady,

Surprised the System Restore didn't work, but first, try this:

Doug Knox - File Association fixes:

Scroll down to LNK (Shortcut) File Association fix

Download and run the file.

Hooray!  The fix worked and everything's back to normal.  Thank you for your
quick response.  :-)

Glad it worked.

Regards

p.s. I'd rather have this:
Crabby, but Great Legs!

than this:

Great, but Crabby legs!
