XP - shortcuts stopped working
Abruptly with no signs of other problems, shortcuts stopped working.
Including desktop short cuts and also "My Documents" and "Recent Documents" short cuts on the Task Bar. Computer appears to be working (hourglass) but nothing happens. Opening files directly from an application works fine. I run corporate edition Symantec on this computer (home computer) for virus protection; no sign of virus problems. Anyone have an idea what's going on and how to fix? -- gEOFF |

It could be malware, I guess, but try the LNK fix here first: Fix File Associations. http://dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm -- Joe =o) |
