Hi Tim,
Yes I merged it with my registry. Had to make a small change
in
the path. It didn't fix the problem but I appreciate your
effort.
It remains unsolved.

Did you not try the .reg repair file, attached to my last
post
in this thread?

When I do that, I see is a shadow-like copy of how it
appears
in file explorer i.e. the
default windows icon (not icon from the associated app)
along
with "shortcut to ...txt".
It drags to the desktop then I choose to create shortcut
here
and let up on the right mouse button.
I then see on the desktop the (wrong) icon above the
"shorcut
to ....txt".

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I tried them all but no joy.
I have no idea what the problem could be but if you
think of anything else let me know.

If you open the windows file explorer and right drag a text
file to the desktop, then select "create shortcuts here"
from
the context menu when you drop it on the deskopt, what
happens? Do you see anything?
