One of our users has inadvertently set *.lnk files (shortcuts) to open with Microsoft Word. Is there any way of reversing this?


*.lnk file types do not appear in the Folder Options applet so I can't change it there.

Any ideas??????

Go to a good station, search registry for '.lnk' and copy all values for that key (you may want to print it out).

Go to the bad station and compare registry settings. Modify as needed, don't forget to use reged32 AND make a copy for backup.
