    Does it do it for every single program? Or just most of them (the any in the title might be different to different people).

    You could try a system restore to when the computer worked - System Restore

    Do it in safe mode though, where there's more chance of programs working if you choose method one.

    Hello Scrambledlife,

    You might see if downloading and merging the LNK and EXE downloads in the tutorial below may be able to help fix this after restarting the computer. They will restore the default associations for shortcuts (lnk) and applications (exe). Hopefully that may be the issue here.

    Default File Type Associations - Restore

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
