Post subject: All my icons became shortcuts!
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)

I am running XP Professional. I do not know how this happened but
every single icon on my system changed to a shortcut icon. Everything
still works the same but I'd like to change them back to there correct
view. Does anyone know what happened and how I can fix it? Thank you.
Higgledy.
