Hi,

I have XP Pro. I copied a DVD over to my laptop HD and made it into an
avi to play.

When I next rebooted, I noticed all my desktop shortcuts had the
'windows' icon on them instead of the program icon.

None of my exe files would run either and I noticed that in exploer all
exe files also had that windows incon next to them.

Obviously something has corrupted a necessary file that open exe's.

Any help here please?
