I don't have much time to tell you the story, but I don't have the programs links on the desktop anymore, what's the fastest method to get them back? I don't have a backup, neither a restore point.
I was messing up with the reg and the cacheWhat happend? Sudden shutdown?
I already thought of doing this, but this will take much timeLike the shortcuts to programs? You can go to your program files and make more. Just right click on the .exe file you want to make a shortcut for a go to "make a shortcut".
Did you make a backup of your registry?I was messing up with the reg and the cache

Messing with the cache probably screwed windows's shortcut placement, as that is stored in the cache along with the icon images.I was messing up with the reg and the cache

Is there a program to create shortcuts of installed programs? Or maybe converting start menu links to desktop links, IDK.Messing with the cache probably screwed windows's shortcut placement, as that is stored in the cache along with the icon images.

Good LuckI'll try to create a batch file for this, thanks for your suggestions
Thanks, I'll try this!If you wanna be really lazy you could install Rocketdock and just drag and drop everything to it. Takes maybe five minutes.
What a drastic solution, I have so many programs on my pc, it would be a pain for meThis happened to me, and I couldn't even open control panel. I decided to just format and start fresh instead of trying to find a fix
Yeah but i format every 2 months for security anyway, so it wasn't not a big pain. I wouldn't recommend it, hopefully these solutions above work for youWhat a drastic solution, I have so many programs on my pc, it would be a pain for me
If you have a second HDD in your PC you can install windows 7 (or anything that supports NTFS) to it then copy everything over from your previous install, then format.What a drastic solution, I have so many programs on my pc, it would be a pain for me

I didn't have itHave you checked if you have a System Restore point from before you started to change things in the registry?
