Actually I'm Jwelk, but can't log in with my old account.
This is new problem starting this afternoon. I use Opera
None of my screen short cuts are operation. I can't even log in using Opera. Currently I'm using Firefox with Startpage.
Same thing occurs, I can't use the on screen short cuts, the only thing available is through bookmarks

And, here I thought I was the only person using "Startpage".
But, as to why your desktop shortcuts are 'dead' is beyond my own experience. But it kind of sounds like a registry problem.
Have you tried creating NEW shortcuts, to see if they work? Or, how about trying System Restore. Eh?

Yes, I did try and create new shortcuts. They came out with an Internet Explorer link. Don't know why as DDG was my default S.E. And it too, did not work.
In the end I deleted Opera, all the shortcuts immediately went to I.E. I also had Firefox installed as I have several sites that I couldn't access with the Opera/DDG scenario.
Firefox is working fine. All I can guess is that there was a Opera update that Win 7 did not like.
Thank you for the assistance
