View 2 Replies View RelatedI seem to be running into a similar situation as others. My .lnk extentions aren't working. I've run the 'fixes' for them as stated in other discussions. Everything appears to be fine when I look at my Desktop but when I double-click to open a link it still doesn't work.I can get into my programs by going into My Computer and finding the .exe and opening it that way. As soon as I do anything on my machine everything switches back to the way it was, not working. I go into regedit and under lnk the "lnkfile" never seems to stay. I keep running my antivirus and spyware programs such as Norton, Adware and Microsoft.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have ACDSee installed on my XP Pro computer. Everytime I right-click on a file (any file, for that matter), one of the choices is "Browse with ACDSee".

Anyone know an easy way to remove this annoying shell extension?
