Disappearing Icon lnk's

[John R]

Whenever I install any type of program the links to
several of my desktop icons disappears. I can relink the
icons but when I reboot the lnk disappears again. Anyone
have any suggestions. I have tried reinstallling windows
with no luck. The only way I can get my icons with lnk's
back is to do a restore to a time when I know the icons
worked.
