As Wesley said. Here is an example:
Normally, users type regedit in Start, Run dialog to launch the Registry
Editor. But, if both Regedit.exe (legitimate) and Regedit.com (Trojan) are
present in your Windows or System32 folder, the file with the .COM extension
takes precedence. As a result, regedit.com process launches. When
regedit.com file runs, nothing may happen. Or, the following error may be
seen.
ERROR: An Extended Memory Manager is already installed. XMS Driver Not
Installed.

I will try these tonight and post results tomorrow. I'm using my sister's
computer since I don't have internet access.

Sounds like your PATHEXT environment variable is messed up.
The environmental variable Pathext shows a list of file extensions that
are considered to be executable and regulates which extensions do not
need to be typed in a Command or Run window.
Open a command prompt, for you...
Start | Run | Type: cmd.exe | Click OK |
Type: set in the prompt and hit your Enter key |
Scroll down to PATHEXT
Should look something like this...
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH
This registry key is what holds the environment variables...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Session Manager\Environment
Value Name: PATHEXT should show the same thing.
I do not know if the fixpath2.zip (first link) fixes the PATHEXT problem.
Why don't my commands work?

See this...
Why do I have to type filename.bat, filename doesn't work

And possibly this one...
You can't run anything from a CMD prompt

For reasons I cannot fathom, some RUN commands crash unless I add .exe
to the end. Example: CMD does not work but CMD.EXE does. Why is this?
