Hi,

I recently had a virus/malware problem (av.exe) that I managed to cure

reasonably easily with CCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Now hardly

any of my program shortcut links work and neither do any of the control

panel links. (c:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe Application not found)



The programs work when they are linked to the actual program exe but non of

the shortcuts. Is there anyway of getting these links working again and also

how do I allow the shortcuts in Control Panel to work again?

Please try the following link to Doug Knox's web site and run the fix

Thanks for that. Now most of my links work OK but the IE one from the start

menu still asks me to choose the program to open the file. If I choose

internet explorer it starts to open but then changes to a normal folder page

(C:\Documements and Settings\User

Then either the .exe or .html associations could be damaged.. run those

fixes from the same site.
