Windows 10: Paint Toolbar

I have done something to my Paint program and I have tried everything I can find to fix it to no avail. I seem to have lost part of my toolbar and now when I open the program instead of my having my total workspace for a new project all I have is the rectangle tool opened. I can paste things into it, but this is clearly not correct. I tried a program repair and a program resent, but it changes nothing. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and I get the same thing. I am beside myself because this is the program I use every day. Please help!

Modification date of link files (lnk) is updated when clicked, and if they are in a toolbar

I'm on Windows 10, and I customized a toolbar in my taskbar, with links to programs (Notepad, Paint, Calc, ...). The steps I followed are:

• Create a folder MyToolbar
• In this folder, add the shortcuts to notepad.exe (notepad.lnk) and mspaint.exe (mspaint.lnk)
• Right click on the taskbar, chose Toolbar, then New Toolbar
• Chose the folder MyToolbar
• A new toolbar is created in the taskbar

Every time I click on one of these icons to launch a program, for example Notepad, the modification date of notepad.lnk in the folder MyToolbar is updated.

This is annoying: because of this behavior, the synchronization program I use updates this file each time I click on it.

Can you reproduce this bug? Any solution?
