LNK files unexecutable?

Question

I own a computer running Windows XP but my dad who doesnt know much about computer and messed it all up. Now my pc isnt able to open .exe file or LNK files. I read that the windows system is supposed to do that itself and if it doesnt then there is a big problem. My question is what can i do to fix my pc? I already tried to open the plug-in my pc recommends since it says i might a victim of software counterfeiting. But all attempts to open a file or a program are useless. I cant even install the program my pc asks me to install in order to fix the problemo. I really need some help with this since Im only 16 i dont count with much money but i need the advice of an expert! I appreciate your time and answers.

Answer 1

Microsoft Windows adds .LNK as the filename extension, and displays them with a curled arrow by default. This extension remains hidden in Windows Explorer even when "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked in File Type options because it is controlled by the “NeverShowExt” option in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT→LNKfile in the Registry. .LNK files are commonly referred to as "shortcuts" or "link files" or "LNK files", though "link" has a different meaning in Unix-like systems (see symbolic link and hard link).

My question to you...

what programs can't you open?

what program does the "LNK: associated with?

if it's a certain program I would reinstall the software.
