Shortcuts don't work

I have about 20-25 shortcuts on my desktop and suddenly they all stopped
working. Have I clicked a button somewhere that disabled them all? I can get
to the various programs through the start menu but not through the icons.

Please help.

Thank you.

Re: Shortcuts don't work

I came to your thread, hoping that there would be an answer. The same thing has happened to me today. Last night everything was fine but this morning, nothing! The only difference has been that I tried Firefox Yesterday, didn't like it & removed it. Does anyone think that this has a bearing?

Hi Gaylin and Tasjt,

Try the solution at this site below. Click on the "lnk" in the box to download the "lnkfix_vista.zip" file. Follow the rest of the Usage instructions at the site for how to use it. This will fix the shortcut associations for you.
