I clicked on open with notepad by accident, and now all my .EXE files open with notepad. How can i fix this? I've tried



1. Open Command Prompt by typing command in RUN dialog box.

2. Now provide following command:

cd\windows

3. It'll activate Windows FOLDER. Now provide following command to open Registry Editor:

regedit



NOTE: If you can't open "regedit", press CTRL+ALT+DEL keys and open "Task Manager". Now click on "File" menu and HOLD down the "CTRL" key and click on "NEW Task" menu. It'll open a Command Prompt window. Now provide regedit.exe command and press Enter. It'll open registry editor without any problem.

4. Now go to following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe

In right-side pane, change value of Default key to exefile

5. Now go to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command

In right-side pane, change value of Default key to:

"%1" %*

6. That's it. Now exit Registry Editor and RESTART your Windows. Now you should be able to open EXE files without any problem.



but it was already like that when i went into the registry. I've also tried a ready-made registry script, but it didn't help. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
