I got a serious problem with windows, I cant open .exe
files!!!!
I can open folders/pictures a.s.o, but not .exe files
like mspaint.exe =(

What happends is that the computer tries to open them
with Acrobat Reader! I got the problems for a couple of
hours ago, and It just keeps bugging me =(

Can anyone please help me, or do I have to get a new
harddrive?

Click to expand...

Make the following, after - - start and before - - end into a file by
cut/paste to NotePad. Make sure there is a blank line at the end. Save
as "Patch.reg" then right-click on this file and take Merge to enter it
into the registry.

- - start
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile]
@="Application"
"EditFlags"=hex:d8,07,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open]
@=""
"EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"



- - end
