    "Open With" window/can't run the programs.
    « on: May 30, 2011, 02:40:36 AM »
    I removed a virus from my PC but, now I get that "Open With" window, and can't run programs. like Firefox etc.At least not without selecting the program I want to open it with each time.
    I'm running Windows XP Home Edition.

    I have tired going to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm already and I did the below steps but,no luck.

    [Look to the "EXE File Association Fix", and download the .zip file to your computer desktop.. Once there, unzip the file, then double click on the "xp_exe_fix.reg" file that is inside, choose "OK/Yes, when it asks "Are you sure?".. Restart the computer.. It should now run those problem programs and Control Panel icons.]


    Help? ???
