JSI Tip 0812. More on Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts don't run.

In tip 631, we attempted to fix this by repairing the .exe / exefile association records in the registry. If that doesn't correct the problem, try fixing the .lnk / lnkfile association records by importing the following using regedit.exe:
