Just to let everyone know, David Candy's tip below (IF NOT) helped me
immensly.
I edited my registry, rebooted and everything back to normal. Don't know
what happened to cause the problem but is fixed now. Possibly a program
called Tuneup changed my original registry?

IF SO
Type regedit in Start Run
Navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell
and delete the default value (which will be runas). Do NOT delete the subkey
of the same name.

IF NOT
Type regedit in Start Run
Navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell
[it get different from here]
Edit menu - New - Key
name it open
select the key open
Edit menu - New - Key
name it command
select the key command then double click (default) in the other pane
enter exactly
"%1" %*
if you get confused runas has an identical command.
