Question about 'I get a 'File not found' message when I try to start any program'

I have a question about I get a 'File not found' message when I try to start any program:

When I install the 07-102.inf file, I get a message that says "Windows cannot open this file: File: grpconv.exe" This is the same result as when I install the UnHookExec.inf file from Symantec. The overall result is that it does not work since my machine cannot run exe files. Can this file be modified so that it doesn't have to try to run grpconv.exe? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

What is 07-102.inf? Where did you get it from? With an inf file, I normally right click on it and select Install. Double clicking on it will just try to Open it and that may be your problem. Try right click and Install.

If you cannot run any .exe, there is a fix for this here: Doug Knox's FIle Association Fixes. Scroll down to EXE fix. Follow directions on page for use.
