249091 2004-07-01 23:30:00 I partitoned my 60 gig hard drive in two partitions on my presario R3003 notebook. Formatted both partitions and installed Windows XP SP1a again.
Exe files installed on the C drive are ok, but my backup exe files on a CD all turned to DOS files (no original Icon). I copied the files from the CD to the newly created D drive. Same result. No exe file would run.
I followed advice from Microsoft and put "%1" %* in the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command which did not help.
Somebody in the know to get it right again?

249092 2004-07-02 02:24:00 are you sure these files you are trying to run are .exe ?........ drcspy (146)
249093 2004-07-02 02:58:00 You could try removing the Read Only attribute from the .exe files copied from your CDs. tommy (2826)
