Start Run type regedit enter (this opens the registry) The first item is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT click on the + sign beside it to expand it Scroll down......way down until you come across: lnkfile Click on that folder In the right pane , you will see some entries. One of the is named " IsShortcut" Right click on that entry and select "Rename" Rename it to "IsShortcutOld " Continue scrolling down again (in the left pane) until you find the entry named : piffile Do the same thing as above - rename the IsShortcut to IsShortcutOld.....
