Extension and the application changed icons. LNK

All my program file extension is replaced by LNK and cannot open an any of them.  Icons are also modified for Windows Media Player.  I tried to open a video file and asked which application to use.  I chose Windows Media Player and who created this problem.  I can't use because no system restore applications run.  However, I tried to open Firefox by opening the folder "programs" > "Mozilla FireFox" > Firefox.app.  I use Windows 7 Prof Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Did you? So so good.

Have been that your .exe changed to .lnk? It would be average of not well, and I don't know how to fix this right now, but if that's what happened, I'll see if I can find something. That said, most of the icons on your desktop program should be shortened, not executables. If they are shortcuts, file extensions should be .lnk.

Finally, were your (guys who should be of .lnk) shortcuts changed to WMP icons and everything will now open WMP? Of after your description of what happened is more likely. It is not too hard to fix, but a method requires a regedit. There are a few automated regfix files that are supposed to restore the default values of the file extention but comments only that I got was a person who said that it did not work. I have a follow-up question on how they tried the fix, but so far no answer so we don't even don't go there for now.

First of all, since the default action is caused by a choice of the user (as it was accidental), you can be able to restore everything simply by creating a new user account. See if the icons to return to their natural state, then knit. If so, just move all your files and folders and delete the old account. If you use Outlook, you also need to reset where it looks for files of Outlook, but it can be automatic (do not try to start Outlook until what everything is copied on the property). If you use this method, remember to copy the hidden appdata folder. Just show all before you begin the copy.

The other method which requires a regedit is also quite simple, but recommend that you set a manual restore point before you start. A regedit always has the potential to mess up your system. the procedures are:

  1. Click on the Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER.
  2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.

  1. Delete the subkey named UserChoice.
  2. Exit the registry editor.

    Theoretically, each method of work.

    BTW, in the future do not use open with on no matter what shortcut... or if you do, don't forget to uncheck the box at the bottom (the one that says something like always use this application for this type of file). The best method is to set the default application using the actual file or via the control panel. Then, you can double-click on shortcuts to these types of files to your heart's content.
