Desk top short cuts

[Craig]

I cannot open any programs on my desk top by doubble
clicking on them. All I get is a window that asks me what
I want to do. Open, Properties, etc. What do I do?

For one of your Desktop Shortcuts right click, select Properties and post
details of the information on the shortcut tab. Something people commonly
use would be ideal.
