exe's dont really have an assotiation like other filetypes. If you cant open exe's you probably have an antiexe virus. If its for a different filetype, hold shift, and right click the file, and select Open with, you can select the default app for that file type then.
Open 'My Computer'>Click Tools at top of screen>Select Folder Options>File types.
Thanks the normal file associations are ok. The only problem is that i cant open .exe, .reg ,.bat, .inf , .com files. Is there a way to repair them?
If this has only happened recently, you can try a system restore as a hopeful fix.
try checking for trojan/viruses.
i recomend running a test with AdAware
