I came home and moved some pics over to the desktop and then tried to open them just to see how they looked..... and nothing
So I rebooted and tried it again still no joy so went looking and found this simple fix!
It sounds crazy, but... copy all of the web / internet shortcuts that
are on your desktop to a folder on your desktop called test (or anything
else).
Now try double clicking on a JPG image (assuming Windows Photo Gallery
is still your default application.)
Then, one by one, copy the shortcut files back to the desktop - double
clicking the JPG file each time to see when this happens again. When you
find the offending shortcut, copy it's URL and delete the file. Then
try double clicking the file again.
What is happening - The url in the properties for the link is way to dang
long.
So just a heads up in case anyone else has this problem, good luck
