On occasion, at startup I get 3 pop-up messages that, 1. Windows desktop
..lnk file cannot be found, 2. Microsoft Office 2000 .ink file cannot be
found and 3. Adobe Reader 7.0 .ink file cannot be found. What could be
causing this? I am using AV software, the computer is clean, and Microsoft
Antispyware is Active and working properly. The only way I can resolve the
problem is do a restore, and it (the problem) goes away. The next time it
happens, I have to do another restore for resolution. I have tried
re-installing Office 2000 Pro, and Adobe Reader hoping this will pick the
files up, but they don't.
Any suggestions?

Hi

See the following link to Doug Knox's web site and try the fix for the .LNK
files:

Thanks Will. I haven't had any problems this week, but went ahead and
installed the fix. It went ok. Hopefully that will resolve the problem.
