message "choose the program to open this file with"

This happened after my anti-spyware deleted a file oso.exe.

The drive is accessible when I use the explore button but not when I
double click on it, like I said earlier double clicking leads to this
message "choose the program you want to use to open this file"

I hope you get the drift.

Please help.

By the way, that happens in My Computer. I am able to right click and
explore the disk drive easily. But double clicking doesn't work.

Please help!

See if this helps.

Rock, when I type regedit in run I get the message "windows cannot
find "regedit". Make sure you typed the name correctly ...."

I did write that command and once it was run I got the message
"DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded."

But :-( nothing changes. I cannot access my disk drive, nor can i
access regedit, either by running from Start - Run or by searching for
regedit in system32 folder.

This happened after Comodo BO Clean did something to a trojan, that
Gerry gave a link about above.

Incidentally, everything else seems fine. I can use my PC, connect to
the internet. No suspicious chinese site opening up automatically
anymore.

Please help.

I didn't tell you to run regedit, but since you tried that and it gave an
error, that could be a sign of a malware infection. Does msconfig run? Go
to Start | Run | msconfig | Ok. Does it give an error as well. What
about task manager, can you access that with Ctrl-Shift-Esc? If one or the
other or both of these won't run then it suggests a malware infection.

Rock,
Quoting myself from previous message: "I did write that command and
once it was run I got the message "DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in
shell32.dll succeeded."

So I ran the command you told me to and it ran successfully.
Unfortunately, it did nothing advantageous to my system, not at least
to my problem.

Regarding your query, msconfig seems to be suffering from the same
sickness. Interestingly, ipconfig works fine, so does Task Manager.
Event viewer works fine. Services.msc too.

Regedit and msconfig don't seem to be working at all. I can see
regedit in the system32 folder interestingly, but clicking on it gives
me the message "file not found"

Additionally, clicking on my local drive (I got a single partition, C
and E). Clicking on E takes me to the "choose the program to open
this file with..." message. Right clicking E and exploring it works
just fine.

Like I said earlier, this happened after my antispyware cleaned a
trojan.

Thanks for the answers. Expecting more though.

Bisu

Rock

This link refers to regedit and msconfig:

The Worm does seem to do extensive damage.

Almost certainly, you are still (or again) infected.
