Hello all, got meself into a wee problem here...

My baby daughter was kind enough to shut the power off to my PC and when restarting I got the teatimer asking me about this, so I said no.

Prohiobitet (based on user decision) value "" (new data: ""%1" %*") added in EXE Extension handler!

Bad idear! - after doing so I can't instal new programs, older programs only work if I right click, use as and remove the tick in the "protect the computer and it's date aginst unauthorised program activity" and thats only some.

I've scanned the forum but could only find that I can't undo it.

Any words of advice? - and no, there's not a recent "restore to" option.
