.EXE Association

Hello WindowsBBS Team/Members

After doing something in the file types/control panel options. I must have changed something. This something I have done, has stopped me from running files ending in .EXE, and their icons are now the black default white one. . .

I get the following message when trying to open any .EXE File:

---

Windows Cannot open this file:

File: Filename.exe

To open this file, windows need to know what progream created it. Windows can go online to look up automatically, or you can manually select it from a list of programs on your computer.

What do you want to do?

- Use the web service to find the appropriate program
- Select the program from a list

---

I think it's something to do with the .EXE File extensions/associations.

If you can help, please do.

Kind Regards
Daimen Richards
