Shortcuts

[weasel dad]

Have laptop with windows vista. wife downloaded trial version of adobe
illustrator. i don't know what she did but all the shortcuts now open to one
program, including all shortcuts from desktop and start menu. properties of
shortcut point to correct start file. all shortcuts are overlaid with same
icon. if i load a new shortcut, all icons change to that icon and open only
that program. she restarted computer several times before i got to it.
