Lost file associations - can't open anything barely

[Guest]

Ad-ware SE Plus, or its adwatch detected a problem with my system registry. I
guess I must have clicked the wrong button, by now I can only access few
shortcuts - w/ a prompt that states that an in particular file does not have
a program associated with it. I can't use help and support, open executables,
add or remove programs in the CP, etc. Please help to at least get me back
where I can open executables. I plan to upgrade to XP Pro, but I can't run
certain chipset identity utilities, SCSI utilities, etc, that I need to use
prior to this due to my
problem. Thank you!

Do a System Restore to a date/time before the problem started.

Thank you. However, since I can't even open help and support right now, will
you please give me direction on how to do this? Anything that's an
executable, I can't open. Thanks again.

If you can get into AdAware you may be able to "Undo" the
changes from there

Hope this helps,

Adware, being an executable, won't open either. I can't open help to do a
system restore, or any fix program that everyone is pointing me to because
they are all executables as well. Thanks for helping me.
