Go to the link below and download the "LNK (Shortcut) File Association Fix". Download the ZIP and open it. Extract the REG file to your hard disk and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt.

It works for me. Maybe you have a pop-up stopper enabled. Here's the link and you can copy and paste it to your Address Bar then click Go.
