I just had a nasty run in with some SubSeven strains... It was doing the same annoying stuff to my executables... Anyway, I ran the reg patch from here that repairs HKCR's 'exefile'... but that didn't do the trick and I wasn't about to reinstall the whole OS! Luckily, I have a good intuition about these kinda things and I'm a VB programmer.... I managed to open up VB by double-clicking a project file and proceeded to jump-start regedit from with VB's shell() function. Low and behold... there was a '.exe' entry in HKCR that was assigned to something called 'rnjfile' or something like that. Show I changed that back to 'exefile'... something this reg patch didn't do.

I've just run into this problem also. I've downloaded the patch that was given on this site, but I'm unable to install the patch. Usually if I were to right click on an *.INF file, I would have the option to install...but that's not happening now. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might install this patch, so that I can have my computer back to normal? Also, in my file types there isn't an *.INF entry in there. I'm not sure why. I've tried to create an entry, but to no avail. The system will let me create a new entry, but it will not allow me to change it's characteristics. Any help would be very appreciated...I've been trying to solve this for 2 weeks now. Thanks.

I'm in the same boat. I can't run get into regedit, I can't run .com or install .inf files. So far I've discovered that I can run explorer, word, and notepad. =P
