None of my shortcuts work

Basically, what happened is that I could not open a file, so I chose 'open with' and then chose internet explore now every time I try to open ANY program, my PC tries to open it with IE, and the program just closes. My computer also indicates that all the shortcuts are now ".lnk" files.

Thanks in advance

Try a system restore to a period where it worked.

  • Portege M100 - none of the drivers work

    None of the Vista drivers work for Windows 7, so I switched to XP Professional and always SOME drivers don't work?

    Is there a special way to install after installing Windows?

    Hi ollie,.

    It would be interesting to know what you mean with none of the drivers work. You get an error message or what is exactly happening?

    Regarding the issue of Windows 7 I think that it of normal that Vista drivers do not work for Windows 7 because the Portege M100 is very old notebook, so I doubt that Windows 7 will work on this subject.

    Moreover, the Toshiba site, you will find an installation instructions document. Use this list a driver installation order is recommended.

  • None of the shortcuts on my desktop won't work!

    The icons on my desktop work anymore, when I try to click on them, the work computer just to me, and I have to go through the start menu to get anything

    to work.  Just started two days before, don't know what to do to unlock or to reset...  That's happened?

    ...... Just started it two days ago...

    In this case, do a system restore. Choose a longer date from 2 days ago as your restore point. (Select a date where the desktop icons have been workin.)

    You can also try to make a reconstruction of the icon cache. Yours may be damaged.

    Hello

    see if this helps you;

    When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based computer file, the file can start another program. In addition, the icon of the file .exe may not appear as expected. You can also receive additional errors in the .exe file or the program that starts.

  • CTRL + SHIFT + T doesn't work anymore, I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. The other shortcuts work fine.

    CTRL + SHIFT + T doesn't work anymore, I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. If I go to history > recently closed tabs and click on something, it works, it's just the keyboard shortcut that broke. The other tabs keys work fine.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • How a shortcut works with reference to applications that require a password.

    At work, we have users who record the link as a shortcut to our Service free employee application on their desk tops. Whenever they use the application it must reset their password. Using the direct link and not the shortcut they are able to identify you with no problem. If the shortcut has been created before a password has been implemented the application will look for the user to create a password whenever they use the shortcut? If they use the intranet road established to log that they have no problem using their established password, thanks to the shortcut, they need to have the password reset? What do you think?
