Good evening. I have a very big problem, I can't open .exe files on Windows. I can open a few (by right-clicking, opening as...) All of this comes from the fact that I wanted to modify the program to open an .exe (right-click properties on an .exe) and since I set an application, I can no longer open .exe files!!! I'm on Windows XP. Please help me... I would be grateful!

Hello, I managed to fix this issue a few days ago (but my computer had trouble opening the forum of comment ça marche...) I was able to fix the problem thanks to Jimmyb3's lead (thank you to him). I had to: 1- Go to the control panel, then to options, folder options, file types 2- New and enter .exe and click on advanced 3- Advanced options: set to open with anything and click OK 4- Go to the .exe extension in the list and restore it 5- Run a file that repairs the registry: http://zaku22.ifrance.com/zaku22/fixreg.com And there you go, problem solved!

Good evening, I'll try tomorrow! Thank you for your help!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same problem, the regedit method didn't work and I was starting to lose hope. A tedious formatting avoided and a lot of time saved :)
