Hi,

I need your assistance on how to solve the following problem:

Few days ago I happened to come across a free anti-spyware program and
install it. However it appear to be too intrusive and slow down my system and
a few hours later I uninstall it.

After that whenever I boot my system, there are numerous "Run As" dialogue
box appear. The contents of the dialogue box are as follows:

Which user account do you want to use to run this program?
**Current user (Networkcomputer/Steven)

** The following user: User Name: Administrator
User Name: Steven
Password:


When I click "OK" the program will then proceed to run and which I have to
click quite a number of "Run As" dialogue box for all the background program
to run. If not it will struck there until I click "OK".

Not only that whenever I run any software program the "Run As" dialogue box
will appear and I have to click "OK" in order for the program to run.

Some of the programs are affected as it cannot run properly.

Any way to solve this? Thank you.
 
Try doing a System Restore to a day prior to when you installed the
"freeware". It should restore your registry back to the way it was.
 
I have already done that for a few times and yet the problem persist. In fact
I System Restore to 2 days befoe and the last time I do it I System Restore
to last month.

So what keys are under that key? Put open in as a default value (which is what the absence of a default value does as long as Open exists). HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe default value does equal exefile?
 
I have put in "open" as a default and now I have more problem. Another
dialogue box appear:

"Windows cannot open this file
File: regedit.exe

To open this file, windows needs to know what program created it. Window can
go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list
of programs on your computer.

What do you want to do?
Use the web service to find the appropriate application
Select the program from a list"

I have try to change back the registry entry but I am now unable to run the
REGEDIT. What program can I use instead of REGEDIT to amend the entry.

Thank you
 
Type cmd in Start Run then type in that

<opps hit send by mistake>

reg add HKCR\exefile\shell /ve

Then answer my questions.
 
PS You can start any program in cmd even if you can't in the GUI shell. EG Type regedit here to start that. CMD doesn't use the registry to determine what to do, it has it's own different rules.

Also what does the right click menu say for an EXE file and the shortcut.

Several years ago I saw an occasional thing where if one choose to use RunAs it stuck on that file for unknown reasons..

Click to expand...
 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exefile
--> DefaultIcon
--> shell
--> shell/ve
--> shellex

The above keys all have default value
 
Did that command
reg add HKCR\exefile\shell /ve
restore the original problem? Or did you run it twice. I get really sick of people who won't talk. I'm not there. I don't know what happened if you don't tell me. Try being verbose.

Because I can tell from your last post that it didn't work because you typed it wrong. Did you type it a second time right?

You put Open in and said you now couldn't open files. I sent you something to type to remove the open and restore it to how it was before you put open in. You left out the space before /ve.

All keys have a default value. I wanted to know what it was set to, if anything.

So can you open regedit or not. If not retype that command (copy it and paste it so the spaces are right). If you can start Regedit delete the shell/ve subkey as by leaving out the space it added a new key rather than removing the open you entered. Not that the presence of it will hurt anything.

Perhaps you typed regedit in cmd and fixed it manually. I don't know what you did.
 
When I right-click on exefile, here are the contents
