My Office97 Shortcut Bar has suddenly decided to stop working. For every icon which worked fine just a few days ago, it now displays the "Open With" dialog box and asks which program I wish to use, as if it cannot find the executable file anymore. The only new program I can think of which I've installed lately that might have changed something was Shockwave.
I only found one related error report on the Microsoft website, but not close enough to provide any solutions. I tried "Refresh Icons", and tried replacing one of the buttons, but same result. Tried removing all the .tmp files from the Shortcut Bar directory in Program file - no change. Odd thing is, the programs will start OK when I click on the shortcut file from within the Shortcut Bar directory, but not from the Shortcut Bar itself. Anyone know of a solution which does not involve reinstalling the program or recreating all of my 40 or so buttons?
