Get it working again with PC TuneUp Maestro! Our comprehensive PC health scan will check your computer hardware, software and settings to get things working again.
A Few Minutes Can Save You Hours of Frustration
The Problem
You can't open any applications or executable files by double-clicking their LNK shortcut links. You receive errors; usually a dialog box asking you to choose a program to open. Or, nothing happens when you double-click an .LNK file in Windows. You may also receive messages saying that you have a virus. Certain malware or careless modifications to system files may corrupt file associations for various executable files including: .exe, .com, .pif, .lnk, .scr, .vbs, .js, .cmd, and .bat files. This may prevent your PC from launching an application.
The Solution
The Executable File Association Repair tool available with PC TuneUp Maestro repairs the system default settings for all of executable file types listed above and restores the ability for your PC to launch applications. If you need to use this tool frequently, you can choose to "Create a Desktop Shortcut" to make the launch of the tool easier. We also recommend that you scan your PC with anti-virus software when viruses or malware threaten to alter the functioning of your executable and file type associations. CompuClever Antivirus PLUS can protect your PC from malicious threats.
