Windows Explorer Shortcuts don't work

Hello,



I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. When I open Windows Explorer and click on a shortcut on the left-hand side of the screen this message comes up:
Windows Explorer Shortcuts don't work-error.png

I would appreciate if anyone has the solution to this problem. Thanks in advance!

I don't know if I'm close to the culprit, but have you ever messed with the Registry in any way? This can include "cleaning" it.
