File association in vista - teatimer problem

[aarongroves103]

Sorted it - I was able to open up the reg editor through tuneup, from there I was able to change the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command "%1" %*

as the default value wasnt set!

Anyway,. thanks for all your replies chaps, appreciate the help - its always nice to know help is at hand if needed.

Cheers

I'm glad you got the .exe problem fixed.You might possibly have problems with some other extensions,though.Would you like to check on those?

Can anyone help? And, I was having no other problems with my computer before all of this.

Though they were denied and I didn't check them thouroughy,from a few things I see in your resident log,I think it might be best if you asked for help in malware removal.

The instructions to follow are here:

As you will most probably not be able to follow all those steps,anything you cannot do,post in malware removal,and let them know.They may be able to help you rename hijackthis to enable you to run it,etc.,but please try to go by a helper's instructions,that would be best.
