Windows Can't Run/Open ( Rundll32 ) Or Any Link/File/Exe/Icon On My PC That Is A

[Remay]

Hi Again
When I Click On Any Thing Or When I Try To Open Any Thing
I Get This : Windows Cannot Open This File ,,
File : Rundll32.exe .. To Open This File Windows Needs To
Know The Program Created It..
When I Go To Microsoft Windows File Associations Page ,
It Says : File Type Unknown ...
Windows Doesnot Recognize This File Type ...
Well.. Lately I've found in the System some unfamiliar
Links/Extentions & Application under the name : MAIL IS
SAFE ,,
So I deleted them and I went on and I Deleted Their Keys
and subkeys from the REGISTRY aswell ..
But before I did that I made a Restore Point and I made
a Registry Back up and I saved it..
SO now after I did that bad move,,,, what happened is
that all my : accessories and System Tool's Links buttons
and Icons,,,
All my EXE,,and Keyboard Short Cuts,,, All My Windows
Help & Support Links And Icons,,,,,,Even The Windows
Update Link/Page ..
And The cmd.exe.... Every Thing Changed !!! They are
not links any more .. Even the Registry Back Up I made
and The System Restore Icon and The Help And Support
tabs and all EXE links and Short Cuts They dont open
nomore !!!!
They Became Like: White Files with 3 colored dots
inside !!!!!!! If I can Get To Open The SYSTEM RESTORE
WIZARD
or The Registery Back Ups That I Made, I would be able
to Restore and Back Up every Thing The way It Was..
But How Can I Do That .. I Dont Know How But I'm Sure
Someone out there knows how.. So Please Help Me...
I'm Afraid to Restart The System Because I Might Lose It
All .. At Least Iam Still Connected So I can Get Help On
The Net..
Im Glad I had The Link Of This Page Saved on my
Favorites .. It worked .. It didn't fail to bring me down
here ...
Well Once Again Please Help Me...
Thanking You

I had this happen when I first got my machine. It got hung up during boot
time because I had a "direct-CD" CD in the drive. Apparently it had trouble
mounting the device. I finally had to just turn the system off (after 15
minutes trying to boot). When I powered it back up without the CD in the
drive I had the exact symptoms you describe. Something had trashed my
registry. My only option was to restore from a backup. I suppose I could
have tried to do a repair from the installation disk.
