All of a sudden, whenever i click on an internet shortcut, it doesnt open but rather says "whatevershortcut i clicked on" is not a valid win32 application" It's really annoying. Anyone know a fix
Thanks.
In the command prompt, type the following (for Windows 2000 (probably also on other Win32 Microsoft operating systems)):
First check the current .lnk and .url (local shortcut and internet shortcut) associations:
Code:
ASSOC .LNK
Code:
ASSOC .URL
The associations should (default) be the following:
Code:
.LNK=lnkfile
.URL=InternetShortcut
If the associations are not what is displayed above (or you want to set the association again) use the following:
Code:
ASSOC .LNK=lnkfile
Code:
ASSOC .URL=InternetShortcut
Now test the internet shortcuts. If the internet shortcuts do not work, "lnkfile", "InternetShortcut", ".lnk", or (inclusive) ".URL" may have been modified in the registry (refer to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT).
