.exe file association

I tried all of the above patches but with no joy. I also tried the microsoft support method, and that didn't work either.

Any suggestions?

Do you have malware active on the System? You need to remove it before applying the fix. Its malware that causes this condition in the first place.

Also, Run SFC after the system is cleaned of malware

hi!

well yesterday i download one .EXE file and accedently clicked on OPEN WITH real player. now all my programms starts in real player. i uninstalled real player but still on the same point.
even followed the following steps but to no avail:

1.press Ctrl + Alt + Delete - this will open a menu where you need to:
2.choose "Start Task Manager". When task manager is started
3.click on "File", then from the drop down list choose
4."New Task(Run..)" and when program "run" starts type
5."explorer.exe" in the white field, then
6.click "ok", this should solve your problem temporarily (windows should work fine now), if so
7.start the "run" program again and type
8."regedit in the white field, then
9.click on "ok", this will open the Registry Editor program where you will need to
10.open the location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft\ Windows NT \ Current Version \ Winlogon -(don't forget to click on Winlogon, not just that little triangle in front of it) when you done that on the right side will be a list of files
11.double click the "Shell" file
12.change the text in the text box "Value data:" to "explorer.exe"
12b. restart your computer and windows should run as normal.

i've downloaded LIMNEOS's exe file but to no avail.

still when i click on any program, even when i try to open REGEDIT, it ask me for chosing a program to open REGEDIT.
im really in trouble, please help me for geting rid of this problem.

thank,
sohail.
