   LNK files not launchable

   I have a windows 95 that will not launch shortcuts.  If I right click   
   and select OPEN the files will launch correctly.  This is the only way   
   that I have been able to launch the files.  If instead I doubleclick   
   on most of the shortcuts they will not launch.  It is like WIN95   
   doesn't take the second click.  If I also attempt to use the windows   
   key|cursor control method of launching from the start button they will   
   not launch.   
      
   The mouse doubleclick setting has been verified to work correctly.   
   The mouse appears to be in good working order.  SCANDISK has been run   
   successfully.  We also attempted to reinstall WIN95 and that didn't   
   help the situation.  I also tried to create another shortcut and that   
   didn't work either.   
      
   I suspect some registry setting problem but not sure which one it   
   would be.  This all started after the computer was physically moved   
   from one location to another.   
      
   Suggestions?   
      
   TIA,
