I have this problem too. I have been on holiday & my laptop was fine before I left, I have windows 7 & use google chrome & always have done. On returning, all my icons have changed & have the ie logo in their place & none will open. My viral & anti spywear is set to scan daily. How has this happened & how do I correct it? My laptop is only 6 months old. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

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.
