Just had this problem myself, thanks for the fix. I am dumbfounded as to why there are registry options detailing how executables are to be run, and why they are so easy for a virus to modify, especially when running as a non-administrator.

Thank you SO much. I’ve been wracking my brain over the stupid broken exe file associations for probably about a week. You, sir, are a godsend. <3

When I double click the exe-fix file I get a pop up that says “Cannot import…Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.” Please help!!!

Jared, I have this precise issue as a result of a virus / malware. Will this registry fix work on Win XP? Thanks
