It seems odd to use URLs to launch apps. I wonder if you meant the path and the name of the app?

My guess is the association for the shortcut or .LNK has been hijacked. This is very easy to solve as we use system restore to the day before the issue.
If malware is involved, you remove that too. Need deeper details? Read
