System (WinXP) not recognizing EXE files

[Rich]

My system has stopped recognizing EXE files as well as LNK files.

I think the association in the registry is bad BUT since the system
cannot recognize EXE files, I cannot run REGEDIT.EXE.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to go back to a previous restore point
(since I cannot run that program either)?

Thanks,
Frank
