the .lnk files will not open in Windows XP

After installing I-Tunes, all the shortcuts do not work.  I am running Windows XP.  Whether on the desktop or in folders, shortcuts do not work.

How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance,

-Charles

Hi Charles,

You can read the following article and try the fix for Windows XP and check if that helps:

The shortcut (.lnk file) is returned instead of the file or folder referenced by the path in the shortcut in the open air or in the Save dialog box in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

Also read the following article:

Cannot open files with extensions such as.exe, .com, and.lnk on a Windows XP-based computer

Hope this information is useful.
