Windows Media Center - HELP!!!!!!

I can get online now and am trying out SUPERAntiSpyware.

I did have an idea, to re-download Malwarebytes but click on 'run' instead of saving it then running the installation - that failed, after clicking 'run', then downloading, once it had downloaded it automatically opened up WMC instead of what it should have done.

Hi,

I don't have 'open with' when I right click anything (see my first post)

Open Windows Media Center > go to Tasks > Settings > General > Startup and Window Behavior > UNCHECK Start Windows Media Center when Windows Starts > Save. You have to configure it here rather than configuring it on msconfig because you have to configure it at WMC's own settings for it not to start when the computer starts. Hope that works....

Thanks but it's already unchecked yet it always starts up and this still doesn't solve my main issue

Go to the Start Menu > All Programs > Startup and make sure that Windows Media Center is not listed there.

Checked, not listed.

Even if I do fix the issue of WMC always starting up I'm still left with the problem of all my programs not opening, instead they always open WMC instead.

This is doing my head in.

Do you have a system restore point in a date before this happened??? Try restoring the system to a time before this started happening.

Can't use system restore, when you click on it it opens WMC.

That's the thing, EVERYTHING opens WMC! Arrrgghhhhhh
