.exe lost association
I have a Win 7 32 bit PC that seems to have lost the association for .exe files. Any suggestions? Remember no exe file will run.

I'd start with rightclicking the .exe and run as administrator,
add the file .exe to the exceptions in AVG if you have it.
AVG once it flags a .exe could be a false positive these are the steps I used.
I got this when installing old flash games and AVG decided this old language is a risk even if it is not. It's not that .exe within your windows and applies to all .exe maybe your just being prevented from opening specific files.

Did the .Reg file I suggested not work?
Using it should be so much simpler.
