When working with a computer maps the user icon with the extension .lnk application as windows.

This leads then to a situation that all the icons on the desktop changed and opened only from the application connected to .lnk

Going into Control Panel and selecting the icon associate a file type or protocol with a specific program, we can only add a particular program, unfortunately, we can not delete it.

To extend .lnk should not be assigned to any program.

The solution is to edit the registry.

We go into the registry find the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ FileExts \ .lnk

Delete registry entries:
The key is OpenWithList only (Default)
  The key OpenWithProgids are (Default) and Inkfile

  The rest delete entries.
Close regedit and log in again.
