Internet Shortcuts - Missing File Type (.url)

I'm having a problem with Internet Shortcuts. Currently, they are showing the .url extension - and I would like to hide it. I went to Windows Explorer > Folder Options > File Types - to uncheck "Always show extension". But I can't find the File Type I'm looking for. I used a registry cleaner (Regseeker) on my system. In hindsight a very bad idea. But it's too late to go back. Does anyone know how I can get the correct File Type back? Thanks!

Hi,

Find your 'Backup before deletion' in RegSeeker. RegSeeker is very good.

... or Restore your system for yesterday morning.

 

Thanks. I got my problem solved on a different message board. I installed the "URL File Association Fix" from here: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm. It worked like a charm! I was very surprised.

Also, I was turned on to ERUNT: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/. So far, I really like this as an alternative to using System Restore. Anybody else use this?

 

Very popular with folks in these circles Idbit. For recovery though you'll wanna investigate imaging.

Thanks. That was on the list!
