StartMeny Links not working

[aleks_jakob]

Hi

Got this odd problem

with xp home

When I click on Control Panel I get a window suggesting that a shortcut can't be made here

do you want the shortcut on desktop instead

when I click on My documents I get allways the search window

Any body knows how to fix the links from start meny (so when I click Control pannel, to have

Control pannel oppened), and to have My Documents

show the files and folders when I click My Documents folder

Thanks in addvance for any suggestions

Sounds like there is simply a key stuck on your keyboard. Unplug it, hit all keys and try again.

[aleks_jakob]

Well No

also My Computer does the same

when doubble clicked oppens the search for files window

when right clicked it shows the right menu (it works OK)

I have tryed to set everything to defaults but Won't work

(also changed the keyboard but nothing)

really appriciate any Help

THANKS For your reply

Left handed mouse settings? Virus?

[aleks_jakob]

Yes

It could be virus although antivir didn't report any (gonna try again)

- but how to bring defaults back

I can oppen My documents with a shortcut like

"%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"

and My Computer with

"%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"

but I need to find out what makes explorer show the search window when I click on start menu items

there should be some reg key or somthing that fixes it..

and Control pannel when clicked sugests to create shortcut...

Right click works fine like I said

Thanks again

If I were you, I would reinstall.

[aleks_jakob]

You're probably right

But I 'd like to try to fix it first

and reinstall only as a last opcion
