Hi,
If you are having trouble running .exe (executable) files start/run cmd
Run copy C:\Windows\regedit.exe C:\windows\regedit.com
Then close the command prompt, and start/run regedit/com
Go to this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
Replace the default value in the right pane (double click it to edit) with:
"%1" %*
you can copy/paste this value from here.
Then navigate here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe (that's period - exe)
Replace the "default" value in the right pane (double click it to edit)
with:
exefile
Close the registry editor, see if they will work now.
