Can not open .exe files.
I have a problem opening up .exe files/programs, after I had reinstalled Windows 7. Basically any program I try to open from the desktop icon or in the Start Menu (Firefox, IE, Microsoft Office, etc.), will give me the "Open with" prompt and I have to choose a program. The same happens when I try to open any .exe file. The program does not open when I choose a program from the "Open With" prompt. For example, if I try to open up IE, the "Open With" prompt displays the file to be opened as "iexplore.exe" and I choose the IE icon to try and open it. When I select the IE icon, I get a file download prompt (file name: iexplore, from C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer). If I choose run, I go back to the "Open With" prompt. If I choose save, it just saves an icon on my desktop (clicking on that icon will result in the "Open With" problem). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
