Solved oops! changed file association for .lnk BIG problem

[barbjean]

Hi! I was unable to click on a link in an email (it was a link to an email address). I went to defaults/file associations and .lnk and set it to my mail program. Now I know that it changed every link on my desktop and in my program files, etc...to go to the mail program. There is no reset to the default association. I don't know what the default association was! I would love your help! Thanks, Barb

You can reset it to default with the reg file from here - http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/233243-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

Thank you for your quick reply and it worked! I can cancel my phone call to a cpu tech repair service. I am so very grateful!
