Hello,

After a mishap, all my desktop shortcuts, except those that point to the internet, have turned into .lnk files and open with Word 2010.
I am on Windows 7.
Thank you for your help.

    To solve this problem, we will modify the Windows registry to restore the default settings for desktop shortcut openings.

    1. Click on "Start"

    2. Click on "Run"

    3. Type "regedit"

    4. The registry opens.

    5. Delete the "UserChoice" folder from the registry key, here is the path:

    "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.lnk".

    6. Log off from the current session or restart the computer.

    And there you go, the problem is solved.
