Fixing .lnk files in Windows 8

1

How can I fix .lnk file association in Windows 8?

I can see how to do it for Windows 7 (How to reset shortcuts (.lnk file) in Windows 7?), but am not sure if the solution will be the same. I don't want to mess with the registry unless I know it's going to work!

if you don't want to mess with the registry, try the command line… assoc.lnk=lnkfile & Enter – Tetsujin – 2015-01-06T10:32:13.427
