If you encounter some or all your files and folders have become shortcuts, this means your computer are infected with a Malware.
To fix this, either you scan your entire HDD using another computer with reputable anti-virus program (such as Norton, Kaspersky) and up-to-date anti-virus definitions or you can temporarily use this workaround to backup all your data and reformat your computer.
attrib -h -r -s /s /d [drive letter]\*.*
Assuming your infected drive is an USB flash drive and the drive letter is [H:], then the following syntax is correct :-
attrib -h -r -s /s /d h:\*.*
Once you're able to backup your data, you may proceed to reformat the drive.
