Hello all. I wrote the program that change the associated file for file extension.
It changed the exe file extension associated application.
now any exe file like notepad.exe, ms office application.. any application can't open right now..
So i'm at RegEditor and trying to change the exe file extension association. but seems like exe file extension didn't get changed by looking at what .exe has in the other mechine..

How can i recover that problem without reinstalling OS and all the programs..?

thank you

Check HKEY_Classes_Root\exefile\shell\open\command
(default) should be "%1" %*

Or at least it is on my w2k box.
