When I double click on a program, any program, in Explore I
get the error message:
Windows cannot open this file:
File: regedit.exe
To open this file, Windows needs to know what program
created it. etc.
I thought the problem was just that Windows didn't
recognise .lnk files (all the Quick Launch icons are
stuffed) until I tried to "Run" regedit.
The funny thing is that I restored the file association for
Word docs and when I double click on them in Explorer it
now opens Word. Also, I can get access to Explorer from
"Start -> My Documents" but if I double click on
explorer.exe in the windows directory I get the above error.
The OS is Windows XP Pro
The machine is a laptop, Compaq Presario 2500
Any help would be apprecaited
