Bill,

Open Regedit.exe and see if the following key is correct:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.msc
default value in the right pane is MSCFile

And check:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSCFile\Shell\Open\Command
the (default) should read as "%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe "%1" %*"

Workaround:
mmc C:\Windows\System32\Services.msc [opens Services applet]
Follow the same for all .msc files.

And, if this issue is seen as of recent, perform a System Restore rollback.
