Hi Everyone,
I have a pc running windows xp sp2. However this is the strage behaviour I
am observing. When I click on
Start => Run and type msconfig, I expect the system configuration utility
to open up.

However it is opening the msconfig in the notepad and showing all the
executable code.

So I went to the \windows\system32 folder and saw the executables. What I
noticed is that all the applications (including msconfig.exe) are shown as
File Folder instead of applications. I dont know what is going on. Is
there any setting which might have caused this?

Can some one help me out on this issue. Because of this, I am not able to
run any utilities /executables.

Help is immediately requested.

Thanks.
