.EXE Files Do Not Open - even in safe mode!

The following will reassociate the exe with the system required to run them in Vista as well as Doug originally wrote his Registry fix for XP.

Go to http://www.dougknox.com and click on the XP Fixes link on the left hand side then on File Association Fixes in the middle pane. Again in the centre pane, you'll find Doug's EXE file fix - double click that and download it then click on it and allow it to modify your Registry to put this problem right.
