0 idoia Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 I didn't have (don't know why) System Restore enabled (or set to 0%) and at first with your long explanation I was like , but then I used your other method which was my last resort, didn't work at first, gave me an access denied warning, so I killed the explorer process, did that thing again, restarted the process and boom! T H A N K S everyone (specially Phenom) that's why I love this place Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/892278-how-to-fix-hijacked-lnk-files-restore-them-in-win-7/#findComment-592486950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
