file association problem in Windows 7

somehow you click on command prompt link, and it runs something else, for example internet explorer.
You desktop is full of IE opening by itself and tries to save a file, even though you did nothing..

Yes, you might experience file association problem in your windows 7.
To correct it, you need to open the registry..
But is your problem is EXE file association, then executing regedit from the command prompt would be a problem since you cannot even run any exe files..

go to this website, and download the registry files..

Save it using any other computer, unzip it, then copy the *.reg file into your PC/notebook using thumbdrives or CD.

Back at your PC, reboot in save mode, and double click on the file to modify the registry..

afterwards, reboot your machine.

The problem should hopefully go away..


I hope this helps..
