.lnk files not working

Comment:

My XP-Pro based pc has suddenly started not being able to follow .lnk s I believe that is a registry problem and have d/l a fix, but that fix requires regedit, and because of the lnk problem I cannot get it to work! Any ideas on how to fix my problem?

Try system restore or safe mode for the fix. Rgds.
