I was transferring photo's from a dig-camera to the pc, which frooze a short time after I disconnected the camera.
When I rebooted, all exe shortcuts were replaced by a standard icon.
Now, some execs are linked to WinWord (so they open in Word ...), while others need another program to open them?!
I did a reg fix but that didn't help either.
What adjustments do I have to make to make my execs executable again???
Via MsConfig or Regedit maybe?
When Win boots, it gives me this :
"Windows cannot find Winword.exe. (coz I renamed it :) )
This program is needed for opening files of type 'Lnk File' "
('Lnk File' is a program shortcut.)
And now Systray has vamoosed too!!
You CAN open certain programs by clicking on a file that's associated with the program. Examples are IncrediMail and Paint Shop Pro.
BUT when I try to run these programs through the Start bar, they ask for a program to open it with.
