If the .LNK files doesn't work, this can be because the underlying .EXE association has been broken often by some programs improperly changing the registry
or the association in the registry can become corrupted.
 
Perform system restore to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e?mail, documents, or photos.

2. Click Recommended restore, and then click Next.
If there isn't a recommended restore point, follow the steps below to choose a specific restore point.
3. Review the restore point, and then click Finish.
