Dear Derek, that is exactly what I have done. I have opened the dropdown menu then what you have said: File>Open, and then I have browsed my computer looking for a file that pre-dates the .LNK one to see if it will open normally but I have found so far that all the files I have put into that action have resulted in the same .LNK file opening. Nothing I can see is working.
