[WIN7] Win 7 - Can't run any programs except for IE

Have a WIn 7 (home edition) 64 bit here that is acting very odd. double clicking on any desktop icon (or in start menu) just brings up an hour glass for a second or two then nothing.

Oddly the only program that will run is Internet Explorer and I can get on the web just fine. Just can't run any of the installed software.

anyone see something like this before?

First, go to program files and try to open the .exe of the programs you want to use. I could just be shortcut issues.

Yes, the only time I've seen that is when the file extension for shortcuts gets associated to the wrong thing. It seems like everything is broken but it's a simple fix.
