re: All shortcuts become shortcuts to word.exe Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at 7:08 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) There are many new virus/malwares making rounds at times. It depends on what exactly the infection is/was as to what issues it causes, so it's not possible to tell by the symptom you describe... as far as I know. The system may not even be completely clean yet. You could try the LNK registry fix... or the combo LNK/EXE fix, left column.. Link File Fix, #12 right column. http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Or, go through more extensive cleaning steps, such as this if that doesn't do it. You'll need to register, but it's free. Post on GeekstoGo forum for further help...
