start -> settings -> folder options -> view tab. untick hide file extentions for known file types and hit ok. then hit start -> find -> files or folders. in the named field, enter regedit.exe and hit find now. when it finds the file, right-click -> rename, and change the name to regedit.com, then double-click the file to run it. this is the windows registry editor and it works a bit like windows explorer. in the left pane, expand:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command

in the right pane, double click (Default) and enter:

"%1" %*

that is, type the following characters: quote-percent-one-quote-space-percent-asterisk. hit ok, touch nothing else, close the registry editor, rename regedit.com to regedit.exe, and try to run a program. a reboot may be needed, but probably not.

get back to us.
