Welcome to SF, swatchi3247!

First off, I would like to say that registry changes are very dangerous. They could cause permanent damage to the OS software.

Could you please attach the registry file that you used to try and fix it?


What I suggest is:

That way the registry modification that you did is removed.

Then I would continue to suggest to uninstall uTorrent.

ive uninstalled utorrent and now they are not getting opened at all.i mean m getting like 'choose a program to run the file' window.
and system restore is also not getting opened.

Can you tell me how you tried to fix the problem in the registry?

this could also be a possible cause of a virus So give this a go:

Do a full scan of your system using: Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

Afterwards: Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

If nothing pops up for both of those,

Generally the problem you describe is caused by either malware or a virus. I suggest you use a different computer to download a bootable Avira CD . Visit the following link for details;
