BACKUP THE REGISTRY 1st PLEASE!

1) Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
2) Move to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile
3) Select IsShortcut and select Delete from the Edit menu
4) Restart the machine

If you prefer not to go digging around in the registry you can also do it with tweakui which you can get here:
