Default rightclick - New - shortcut just creates an empty file, doesn't start the wizzard.

Hello all,

When I on two XP computers, over time rather personalized, on the desktop or
folder, rightclick - "new" - "Shortcut" I just get an empty file named
"new shortcut" (no extension), and thats it.

However, on a third one, with a rather basic configuration, a "Create
shortcut" wizzard than pops up, asking for a to-be-linked-to target, and a
new name for the file.

Does anyone have any idea how to

1) Re-activate the "Create shortcut" wizzard follow-up.
(I have absolutily no idea why the wizzard disapeared!)

2) remove the "shortcut" link from the rightclick - "new" menu (preferred.
Its rather useless to me anyway, as a rightclick target - drag- create
shortcut is much more convenient)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
