.lnk file

Hello,

I have a Vista Home Premium 32bit. Last night on the windows folder I changed ownership from trustedinstaller to my username for I could delete a file in (Downloaded Program Files). But after I changed the ownership of the folder back to trustedinstaller some of my programs (iTunes, Adobe Reader, Dell Dock, Microsoft Works, Modem Diagnostic, Windows Live Messenger, etc) changed to (.ink file). I can't even do restore point. I tried the File association fixes in File association fixes for Windows Vista but it did not work. Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello ChitownCubears1, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Are you able to do a System Restore at boot instead using a restore point dated before you did this?

It never even crossed my mind booting with the vista dvd. It worked. Thanks.
