EXE File Fix

Overview¶

• No EXE could be run directly, including CMD.EXE.
• Programs could be run via file associations. (For example, double-clicking a DOC file would open Microsoft Word.)
• If you try to run CMD.EXE from the Start Menu > Run, you get an error stating that CMD.EXE couldn't be found, even though you can find it in Windows Explorer.
  

Solution¶

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe\shell\open\command]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\secfile\shell\open\command]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\shell\open\command]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile]
