My daughter is running xp home on a Dell laptop. All her programs seem to be associated with windows media player and of course it gives the error that it can't play them. I have tried restore to a earlier date. Tried creating new shortcuts and icons. checked the registry exefile keys.messed with folder options. They only work by clicking the original program icon or if it is attached to the start menu ??? Helpless Dad

Jump to PostWindows XP Powertoy TweakUI (which can be downloaded from Microsoft's website) has a rebuild feature that lets you rebuild icons. However, I don't think it fixes bad associations. I think you need a registry fixer-upper.
