My friend was working on a project and wanted to send me the file over skype. So, he saved it to his computer and sent me the file but it came as a .lnk? Both of us tried opening the file but it wouldn’t, so obviously the next step was to right-click and open with Roblox Studio.
Well, this moved turn out to back fire as we soon realized that every single file and program on our computers (except for windows explorer/my documents and such) opened with roblox studio, and I had to perform a system restore.
I’m all fixed now, but has anyone else ever had this? Did we do something wrong?
I think i’ve seen this before, even on someone elses computer. Don’t remember the cause though… off to google!

Chances are he actually sent it as a .lnk by accident. “.lnk” is essentially a symlink, which tells the computer to refer to another file when interacting with it.
Don’t tell Windows to open “.lnk” with anything other than what it’s already set as. You’ll probably break Windows, like you said you did.
Tell your friend to make sure he is sending a “.rbxl” or “.rbxlx” file. If you’re still receiving a “.lnk”, try renaming it to “.txt” and check the contents of it.

But but… I’ve no anti virus 
(Not kidding)
lnk are basically shortcuts to open actual files. Your friend must have accidentally sent that rather than the actual file.
