Hi guys....
Yesterday while surfing net i was installing Adobe acrobat reader plug-in in Mozilla firefox.During installation i clicked on a dialogue box which was saying with which file you want to run Adobe.exe i clicked on Mozilla firefox icon and since then all the shortcut icons of my computer such as iexplorer,vlc,winrar all were converted into mozilla links.so i uninstalled mozilla. but the problem didnt solve. All the shortcut of my pc are now as unknown format when i double click them there is a dialogue bos showing with which program you want to run and nothing happening.
I tried to reinstall mozilla but that also is not running.
Pls help me.... :) :) :)
