When i click on some of the icons in the start menu recently opened items part, they wont open the program. They work if i go to the all programs part though.Also in the games folder when i try to open any game i get a error box saying "the file does not have a associated with it.create an association in the Set Associations control panel".But the games run from the all programs menu. So whats the point in having a games folder in the start menu if nothing works in it. It worked before but now its not.What can I do?

now i tried reinstalling the games with the "turn windows features on or off" it it wont install them.Says an error has occured.
