Unable to run any exe file

[Vikram]

I am not able to run and exe file it gives the error

"Cannot find the file or its components" and just gives the
OK button. On clicking oK, it gives "Unable to run this
command"

EXE files are very much present. Unable to run the cmd.exe
and when i try to get properties of "My computer" it says
access denied though i have loged in as local admin.

Please advice.

This problem can be caused by viruses. I think there are
several that can cause it. You can find info on one such
virus at the web address below, but if you find that this
is not what you have, I'd recommend searching the virus
sites for info on others. They are usually not damaging
and can be cleaned easily.

Earl is right, i solved the problem

There are two solutions to this problem

1. Running the Fixlgate tool

2. correcting the Registry Key.

1. Running the fixlgate :-

a.Get to the DOS prompt by typing "command"
at the "run window".
b. Run the Fixlgate tool from the DOS
prompt .

this will fix the problem .


2. Correcting the Registry Key :-

a. copy the exe file of Regedit from the directory
Winnt to the c:/ root directory.
b. Get to the DOS prompt by typing "command" at
the "run window".
c. Run Regedit from DOS prompt
d. Now set the default value of the Registry Key
given below

The default value of the registry key

"SOFTWARE\Classes\exefile\
shell\open\command" should be set to ""%1" %*".


this will fix the problem .
