| 12166 | 2001-05-04 14:47:00 | Problem goes like this: A virus has associated the .exe extension with a back orrifice program. McAfee deleted the back orrifice program, but I am unable to run any exe's, as they are still associated with the program. I cant use regedit to delete the key (its an exe), and I cant use view > folder options > file types, as the capacity to edit .exe is disabled. Any suggestions? (would merging the key as it should be replace the current settings, presuming i can find the correct key?) | Guest (0) | ||

It was written by Wilbert Hengst for viewing/editing file associations - and is especially useful as a recovery tool if some application's setup procedure takes over associations that it should have left alone: www.xs4all.nl |
