Vista - Files become shortcuts when placed in programs folder

Files become shortcuts when placed in programs folder

For some reason, when I place a file in the programs folder, it becomes a shortcut or asks me if I want to place it on the desktop. It used to ask me to just move and replace if the file was identical. The files are identical but it's not letting me just replace. Is there something that could have caused this? I temporarily turned off UAC but no luck. Any help would be great. Thanks.
