Hi. I´m new to the forums, and by no means whatsoever an expert on anything computer-related. I believe I have the same problem as the poster, but with the sad case that this pen drive actually infected my home laptop (HP - Windows Vista) while transferring simple .wav and .pdf files).
This is the problem. Absolutely all my icons on the desktop, whether it was adobe reader or audacity, all icons changed to internet explorer ones. All application were changed to .LNK files and I cannot open anything. I deleted the icons but did not uninstall anything. What can I do about this? I´ve already learned to re-format the pen drive often, but my home laptop is screwed up. I would appreciate absolutely anything that can help my situation. Thanks.
