  3. file explorer flickers and crashes

    I updated my drivers and this didn't fix my problem. Nothing seems to work. Now when it crashes it rearranges my icons on my desktop. I locked my desktop icons and it still rearranges the icons. I don't know why this problem suddenly occurred. I have never
    had a problem before.

    Perform a virus/malware scan to check if your computer is infected with any malicious software or not.

    Maybe your user account is corrupted create new user account and let us know if issue resolves at new user account.

    Open the Command Prompt as a administrator and type following command:

    Code: Assoc .lnk=lnkfile[/quote]

    you mean the shortcuts stopped working? did you look in the properties for said shortcuts and see what location they were pointing to? was it corrrect?

  6. cheers mates. i scanned, nothing found. i vaguely remember what the message i got when clicked on defunct shortcut -but i think it said it couldnt find the targeted file/folder..for now, everything is back where it should be. but its odd it occured while i was running my cleaning program as i normally would . i dont want to think the cleaning program, glarysoft utilities had anything to do with said shortcuts not working. -want to continue using said cleaning program.
