Have looked all over for a fix to this problem, no luck! Any ideas

Sorry about sending to your email! New user and all!
The files are any such as text-no open, print, edit, & open with; jpg-
no open, preview, print,edit, & open with; inf-open, install, print, &
open with. Checked the first site first step-nothing 2nd step dont
know. Other issues same situation zip files wont unzip to folder on
desktop and picture resizer powertoy doesn't come up anymore. Fixed
the zip problem and then it came back. It's like there is a policy in
place that won't allow it. Have messed with it for 3 days now,
checking things in the registry, using fixes from different sites
concerning zip files, inf files & jpg files to no avail. Not able to
restore to an earlier time as a couple of weeks ago I had a trojan. I
use AVG, Spybot S&D, Spyware Blaster and Adaware all register as clean
along with nothing coming up different on HJT. At my wits end with
this!
 
The email server which I logon to, is down ATM. So, haven't had a chance to see your mail.

If this problem is seen for all file types, then see the link posted earlier by Rock, and follow "Method 2" in that link.

Went back to what "Rock" said. Had an old version of that program and
it didn't function right so I went and got the new version. It said I
had 307 items! Didn't know which ones to try first. By a little luck,
I tried the first 25 and all the problems went away. Then slowly
weeded out the problem items. What it turned out to be was 2 items
from Autocad's Autodesk DWF Viewer. That I wouldn't have bet on as it
is an $1800.00 program, but sure enough it was! Thanks for the help
and guidance, wouldn't have solved it without you guys. Thanks again!

Good you have it fixed. I hope however you didn't pay $1800 for an
Autodesk freebie!

Great, glad you got it sorted out and thanks for posting back.
 
Excellent! Thanks for the feedback.

Perhaps uninstalling/reinstalling the related application (in this case, Autocad's Autodesk DWF Viewer) may do the trick sometimes.
