    Hello 403Phaze,

    If you like, download and merge the .reg files for the listed .lnk (LNK) and .exe options in the tutorial below to see if they may be able to help. They'll restore the default file associations for them.

    Default File Type Associations - Restore

    Hope this helps for now, :)
