Solve : "Find Target" in link properties doesn't work?

Answer»
Howdy, folks.
I right click a link (.lnk), click Properties, then click "Find Target" and instead of folder with the target opening an Open With box opens. It has several programs suggested, but not explorer.exe. I have to browse for explorer.exe.

How do I fix this problem?
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htmI downloaded and entered the info from the reg file into register. I STILL have the problem.Do I need to reinstall the OS?I don't think so, no. You can boot to the OS, insert the XP CD in the drive and RUN sfc /scannow. Let's see if that helps.

By the way, what happened just before this problem appeared? I doubt it just popped up out of blue.Use TweakUI to REBUILD your icons.
See if this does it.

I've been working on a big research project. Have you tried doing a system restore to before the problem started?

Did you run the file checker like Allan suggested?Quote from: JJ 3000 on September 14, 2009, 06:02:00 PM

I deleted the folder key, as stated in the second solution and merged this reg into registry.

It's from Doug Knox the folder reg.
