Okay, my friend has a computer problem and I can't figure out how to fix it, neither can he. I'll try to explain it:

Okay so, his STORY was that his brother was using the computer and wanted to run a game, Fable: The Lost Chapters. It asked him what he wanted to open it with (I HOPE you know what I mean), and he chose the game itself. I guess he accidentally chose the OPTION of using that game to open all other .exe files. The option said "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" (which was a .exe).

That made ALL .exe change so that it would execute Fable:The Lost Chapters when opened. He couldn't fix it.

I imagine it was a virus or trojan since it asked how he wanted to open a .exe.

If anyone understood, do you have a solution other than Redoing Windows?

Ask questions because it was hard to explain.

Thanks!There's a utility in Windows that shows you what extensions are associated with what. Open that up and DIG around in there for a little while to see if you can find out anything. If you let us know what version of Windows he's using we could point you towards that utility.Quote from: Anodoin on November 17, 2007, 09:50:25 PM
