Links not running correct program

(1/1)

nms1944:
Sorry to bother you folks, but I am having a problem with my WinXP SR3 and third party programs that run lnk files (Find and Run and  SetPoint 4.80/UberOptions for example).

When trying to run a lnk file from Find and Run Robot and/or SetPoint 4.80/UberOptions the link is not running the file it is supposed to.  Instead it runs Quick View Plus 11 and displays the contents of the file that the lnk file is pointing to.

For example I have a link file, Filezilla.lnk, that is supposed run Filezilla.bat, but it runs QuickViewPlus which displays the contents of FileZilla.bat.

When I access the link from the StartMenu or by clicking on it everything works correctly.

Any help anyone can give me in solving this problem would be appreciated.
