Hi,

Can you export and post the contents of:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe (that's period - exe)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile (no period here)

Click start, type regedit and hit <enter>. Once open, expand the first
branch and click on the .exe key (folder). Click file export and save a copy
to the desktop. Repeat for the exefile key. Now, right click one of the
saved files and choose edit, it should open in notepad. Click edit/select
all/edit/copy, then open a response to this post and click in the message
text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the contents. Repeat for the other key and
send the post for review.
