All Application File Associations Changed to Internet Explorer
I worked today on a computer on which all application file associations had been changed to Internet Explorer. I guess this was a virus like the one described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...le-may-start-a.
On top of that also the option to run an app as administrator had been removed (and I could not restore it) so that it also was not possible to run regedit as administrator.
I ended up creating a new user and move all user data - including the mail and contact folders - to this new user. In this new user everything works fine (as did also in another, old and obsolete user that was already on the computer).
I'm wondering whether I could have done something different. Would there have been a different way to fix this?
