My of .exe desktop icons are now. Can ink file, anyone help to get rid of it?

Hello

I started a game in the start menu, but he asked the program where to open.
I chose the right .exe
Then, all the desktop icons that are .exe are now. Of ink file and opens with this game, and then the error flashes that it cannot be opened.
I use Windows 7 64-bit.
From what you have stated above, I think that the file association for LNK files has been given misdirection to the MyGame.exe. I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selecting the MyGame.exe (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in MyGame.exe as it should.

The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the Explorer will want to be opened by MyGame.exe and use icon MyGame.exe to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unAssoc for its ease of use. I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on my SkyDrive here.

Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

    I noticed that you "injected" some HTML into the head of the page, which contains some content. Is not a valid method! I guess you tried to use a version of 'non-script' of a meter of DoubleClick (an element of the image of an invisible pixel with a identifier unique, designed to be used somewhere in the content of the page) in the top of the page. Instead of inserting the script of this counter version.

    ...

    div style = "display: inline;" >

    This defective positioning can cause strange behavior of the browser, such as the movement of this element at the beginning of the body (the actual content). And since there is no enclosing element, "inline" makes no sense and will force a block of 1 no element formatted a line height in any case.

    Either Paste or Insert this HTML form Object HTML somewhere on the page (it's just a little invisible pixel), or better: find the right

  • The desktop icons are scattered after Windows updates

    I just applied the February patched to my laptop running vista Home premium. I now have a new icon on the bar called "intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile' tasks and my desktop icons are scattered. What's past and how to fix it. I can't find mention of the graphics accelerator intel in the list of applied patches.

    Suggestions:

    1. go into "View Update history" > mark down the KB # of you February patch.
    2. If your Windows Update is set to Auto, change it to manual.
    3. do a system restore. Choose the date before you install the latest Windows Update as your restore point.
    4. If everything is back to normal after the system restore, ask a question in the Windows Update forum. Ask if this KB # is required to install or if you can ignore that.
    at the moment I am unable to go to the Windows Update forum. So I can't give you the link to the forum. You will have to do it yourself.
    5. soon you will receive the new update available. Check the update. If you find the same update you have problems with, don't install this one until you get the answers from experts in Windows Update.

    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, click
