no "open" on right click on exe

Hi




On my winxp pro sp2 IE7 machine, one of my account, I cannot launch any application. When I right click, the pull down menu does not have the "open" option in it. When I double click the short cuts, the icons and the actual executable, nothing happens. However, what works is the Windows Explorer. I can still browse through my directory. Now when I switch to another account, everything works. I tried running anti-virus scan and it found nothing. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Vicente Chung

Easiest fix in these situations is to create a new account, move the data files, 
then remove the "bad" account. Takes about five minutes; finding the true cause may 
take hours.
