I rebooted the computer after Windows update and I now cannot access any programs using the icons. Internet explorer can be accessed via help and support and clicking on any of the help suggestions. Photoshop can be run from the program file as can some others I tried so there is nothing wrong with the programs.

I have tried using lnk_fix_w7which I don't know what to do with it and unassoc_1_4 does not work as it does not show .lnk in the listings when I run it. I cannot use system restore as it has not been working for some time. Can anyone suggest a remedy for this problem or would it be easier to reformat?
