1. Sp1 2.cannot Run Exe Files Now

Seems that after rebooting my Machine after installing SP1 I cannot run any exe files without getting the following message.

"This file does not have a program associated with it for peforming this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel. "

Not sure what to do at this point. Please help????

Thank you much! Have a good one!!!

 

Copy and paste the following script into Notepad, then "Save As" anyname.reg

Be certain that you include the two line feeds at the end of the script. You can't see them but when you highlight the script you'll notice it will show content after the script.

Then double click the resultant file and affirm to merge it into the Registry. (Alternately you can right click it and select "merge "). That should fix you up.

I did the same but it didn't work for me. I couldn't see the last two lines you're talking about - no matter how much I selected it.
What am I doing wrong?

Help!
