regedit and other executables run in IE

C

comerhop

I think i might have made some mistake in updating the
prefix in
the registry because my IE didnt work for URL's if i didnt
give the "http://" prefix before the web address.

SO i updated the value in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\URL\Defaultprefix
to "http://"

since then everytime i run an executable windows seems to
attach http:// path to it so it tries to run in IE.
This includes regedit. If i do start:run:regedit it goes
to IE and tries the address http://C/Winnt/regedit.

None of the other executables works either they all have
http:// prefix attached to it.

How can i get out of this problem ?

comerhop,
Some program (usually spyware\parasite) may have overridden the URL prefix
setting?

Use the attached reg file to repair the corrupted or altered (spyware) HTTP
prefixes:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/RepairDefaultPrefix.reg

Download, right-click and select: Edit (to view in Notepad)
Right-click and select: Merge (to enter the info into the Registry)
Reboot, repost with your results.
