Clicking shortcuts on desktop only brings up properties box?

[account_disabled]

Hi,

Sometimes when I double click my shortcuts on my desktop the program doesn't open up. Instead the properties window pops up. This is not happening with just one of my shortcuts this is happening with all of them. I usually do a restart to fix this problem and it doesn't happen any more but that is only a temporary fix because it often happens again when I startup my computer. What is the reason for this? Is anybody else having this problem?

Any idea?

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
