I recently added a new hard SATA hard drive to my PC and after much
hassle managed to eventually install XP Home on the PC and get the
machine to boot ok. However, something is strange about the system
after the rebuild.
All of my previously saved EXE files now are identified as DOS programs
and wont run if I double click on them. I have checked the file
assiations in the registry and all looks OK - "%1" %*.
How can I convert these EXE programs back to being recognised as valid
windows programs? How does windows 'identify' these programs as
requiring DOS execution?
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA
