Hi - I need HELP. Yesterday when I was working with Corel Photo Paint X6 and Corel Draw X5 all of a sudden all my desktop program icons changed to show Corel Draw X6 -- also an .ink extension appeared behind all the program names. (this also happened in my "all programs" list.) Everything I click on takes me to Corel Draw X6. Anyone have any suggestions for me to get things back to normal??? Thanks.
If only certain icons were affected, I would assume a file association error. But assuming you have more than one type of icon on your desktop, it sounds more likely to be a corrupted icon cache.
http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-rebuild-icon-cache-in-windows-7-to-repair-icons/ has some information about doing this.
I think if that does not fix it, the quickest answer would be a windows system restore, to the last restore point before you saw the problem.
