Default lnk file association

I am having similar problem. Have applied the reg edits you have mentioned
here and looked for the reg key you mention below to delete but it is not
present. Still have the .lnk issues and blank or generic icons for many
programs. Is there any new or updated information that can help me.

Addendum:

You need to delete this key, specifically:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.lnk\UserChoice

Hi Daemonfyre,

The per-user area is not included in your registry export.

1. Download FileExtInfo.zip from he
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/fileextinfo.htm

2. Unzip the utility and extract the files to Desktop.
3. Double-click "FileExtInfo.exe" to run it.
4. Select the file type from the list box
5. Click "View file association report"
6. Copy the contents of the report and include it in your reply.

Exe filefix didn't do anything. Here's the exports from .lnk:
