No program associated ????

[Helder]

Hello,

Yesterday i installed SpyBot in my computer and after restart it i got this message
when ever i try to open any program:

This file isn't associated to any program to do this action.
Create an association in Folder Options in Control Panel.

I can only open Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, can't open
Media Player and other programs.

I went to Folder Options but don't know what to do there, and one friend of
mine has the same settings i have and he doesn't have this problems

I can't even do System Restore....

Does anyone have a clue on this?

Thanks you very much,

Helder
