Quick Launch icon shows properties but doesn't launch app

[Guest Troy Dot Net]

My system unexpectedly rebooted (apparently a device driver problem) and now

clicking a Quick Launch icon causes Windows to display the icon's properties

instead of launching the related application. This happens for all 12 Quick

Launch icons I have.

 

I know rebooting again will likely (I hope) fix the problem but does anybody

know why this is happening?

 

Thanks for your time.

Hi Troy,

 

When the system crashes, it's hard to tell exactly what processes may

have been running.

 

If a reboot doesn't clear it, try a System Restore to before the crash.

You could also try this:
