My Laptop was working fine and suddenly many windows of GOM player opened at once and when I tried to close it, all icons were changed as GOM player shortcuts. I uninstalled GOM player but still. Gom Player – Video size and position problem. Last updated on September 28th, 2013. One of my customers called me this morning and told me that when he tried to play a video with GOM Player, the Video Image stayed on the left in windowed mode and when he tried to play the video in full screen mode, the video size would not maximize and it stayed on the left of the screen and not centered.

I uninstalled GOM player but still the problem isn't solved, all shortcuts behave as 'open with file'.

Do you mean ALL icons? Have you tried the obvious (refreshing the desktop/window), rebooting?
If so, the GOM player may have wrote (for some reason) file associates for all your files for the GOM player in your registry. You might want to try a registry cleaning tool like CCleaner which is free and very good.

It seems like GOM has changed the association for LNK files, which are your shortcuts.
Here is my registry entry for LNK files. Copy this text into a file named lnk.reg on your Desktop. Run the file and it will restore the registry settings. You can delete the file afterwards.
I tested this on my Windows 7 Professional 32-bit system. I give no guarantee this will work on any other OS including Windows 7 64-bit.
Just a note to scutinising eyes, the second line
Hand-E-FoodHand-E-Food[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.lnk]
deletes the existing registry key, removing any corrupt data. The entire key is recreated from scratch.4,44311 gold badge1313 silver badges3636 bronze badges
