I have some kind of weird virus where all of my .exe files were turned into .ink files. I tried restarting, rebooting, all I can do is open internet browsers and PDN.

That happened to me when I first joined Warbears.
Where did you save your files?

Ah.
Then the problem is in your downloads.
Don't you have some anti virus software in your computer?

Yeah, of course, why did I not think to use my anti-virus software the very second I saw this problem?
I did, it's a .INK file now!

Glad to help?
Is that sarcasm in your voice...
Anyway, just do a virus scan, move that virus from your .ink downloads are whatever, and
TADA!
You can go back to whatever you were doing.

I don't think you even read my previous post. The anti-virus program, is now a .INK file, not an .exe file! Stop just looking for ridiculous places to post thing and posting things that either nobody cares about or aren't helpful!

Whatever I was just trying to help, and I am posting things that make sense!
It's not my fault that no one else is posting before I do.
Whatever go fix your own files.

When double clicking the xp_exe_fix.reg file, windows asks what to use to open it. Go to select from list, then browse and find C:\Windows\regedit.exe, select it and click ok, then double click xp_exe_fix.reg again and it'll ask you if you want to add the info to the registry. Click yes and reboot your computer. You should notice that by going Start->my computer->C:\ and opening any one of the folders, all of the programs appear normal again and will function correctly.
If your desktop icons still have the *.lnk extension, run the linkfile_fix.reg by double clicking it, then reboot again. make sure everything seems back to normal and your all done!
the specific locations for the files:
http://www.doughknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_exe_fix.zip
http://www.doughknox.com/xp/fileassoc/linkfile_fix.zip
Note: if winzip/winrar or whatever isn't working on your machine, either extract the files on another computer or associate the zip files with the appropriate program exe (winzip/winrar) as done for the xp_exe_fix.reg file. |
And other stuff

First of all the files are Lnk as in link not Ink. The problem is that there is a virus that's probably damaged the drives so your Lnk files or shortcuts aren't working because they have no working programme to go to.

That further complicates the files (and probably corrupts them)
Something doesn't sound quite right: .ink isn't an actual file extension. Are you sure it's not a .lnk file as that would make a lot more sense to associate with the .exe extension (as it's the Windows shortcut file extension).
Just double check that please.

This hasn't happened to me, and I don't know what to do about it. I wish I could help, but all I can say is get a new computer.
