File extention mishap!!


Recommended Posts

I downloaded a zip file that had a .exe extention and of course windows doesnt show the extention on know file types. I needed to delete the .exe to make the file a .zip. i went to the folder tools and to the file types. from there i looked for the exe extention, but it wasnt there. (?) so i went and added it and for got to add the parameters to open up exe files. now im screwed because i cant double click on any exe files... if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for the input... I should have done that from the very begining. I'm still stuck with not being able to start and executable files!! Ive tried to reinstall windows, but to no avail. i am really stuck with this. i hope i dont have to format and start all over!! i just did that like 2 days ago!!

I had the same experience the other day. But i went to the regedit and added tons of entries to correct it. Darn, wish you gave me those keys then i would have saved myself that headache, but oh well LOL :D
