I just upgraded to windows 7
While trying to edit an lnk file my kid has managed to set all lnk files & application on my pc to open with explorer (the file in the windows directory)
Now when it is turned on the pc opens explorer over and over untill it locks up. I can't open any programs, safe mode dose not help. I can right click on the files but cant seem to change the defualt program option as it is grayed out. Can you help me reset this.

Click Start Menu, and then type regedit in the Start Search and press ENTER.
Navigate to the following registry branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.lnk
Click on the arrow to expand it and delete the sub-key named UserChoice.
Exit from Registry Editor.
Reboot
