enigma# Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/restore-exe-file-asso-windows-7-vista-incorrectly-associated/ <--- FOR EXE FILES http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html Most of these are registry files (one is zipped up) and all oyu have to do is double-click and merge the registry file (this is automated by the .reg file) Second, goto Start -> Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate a File Type, you can manually pick them off there. I don't know why you need to use registry to do it. lol unless .cpl is broken too. If your EXE file extensions are broken, follow my first link provided. It should fix it. in Safe mode, you can try running sfc /scannow in CMD.exe. This usually looks for inconsistencies in core Windows files. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/problems-with-file-association-in-windows-7-64-bit/8a84fcec-22df-4942-8e35-d98dbe96e327 Last case is always to do a reinstall but I'm surprised that System Restore didn't kick in :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
