catface12 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hey, I need help as fast as i can get.I was downloading something through utorrent, and when my file finished downloading, I opened the folder it came in and tried to launch it. After that my computer froze so I restarted it, and then I tried to connect to the internet, i saw that the firefox icon had been replaced by the utorrent icon, and when I tried to launch firefox, utorrent opened itself up and tried to run firefox. After I messed around, I realised that all the .exe files were being opened by utorrent.I have deleted utorrent but the programs still wont open normally.If you are wondering how I am on the internet now, I had to open it by going into Utorrent-Help-Website.But all my other programs, like iTunes and MSN wont start. Someone please help because I am quite angry and would like to use my computer.Update: I just finished re-downloading the installer for iTunes and Firefox, but Utorrent is still tying to run the installers.

catface12 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hey thanks mate, I was sort of worried.I havnt tried it yet, but im pretty confident it will work.EDIT:Nah, it dosnt work. I am running Vista and the views and folders are setup different.It says on the website that you linked me to: "Scroll down to where .EXE would be in the alphabetical order and make certain .EXE is not there (****if it is, then edit it there by changing the association to Application****)."How do I do the highlighted (****) when using vista? Hey sorry if its a dumb question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
