Windows making me add .exe on everything when I type it into run

When I pull up Run on the start menu, usually cmd will suffice when I'm
checking things, but apparently for some reason Windows is making me put .exe
on the end of everything or else it will say not a valid Win32 application.
Anyone know how to cure this?
 
Try open a folder, tools, folder options, view, click the hide extensions of
know file types...

Click to expand...

Right click My Computer icon and choose Properties
Go to Advanced tab and click Environment variables
In System Variables, double click PATHEXT
If the value doesn't include .EXE then add it
Click OK twice


Good Luck, Ayush.
