Help! Unable to open exe files

[ArrowSEnt]

My shortcut icons are now uTorrent icons and when I try to open a program (exe file) I get the message Unable to open "...": Invalid torrent file. I can open document files and have still been able to open internet explorer to this point.

I tried regedit but was unable to open it and got the error message above.

I am unable to download or install the 1.8 stable version because of the error

I tried their fix but I can't access any exe file except internet explorer so I can't use regcure or any other program that requires me to use setup.exe.

You didn't try their fix if you think that it requires exe associations to work.

It looks like the original page is broken, so try the Google cache version.

Thank you!!!! Your link took me to the right page and another user had provided them this link: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html

that has multiple file association fixes including the one for exe. It was a simple download and reboot.
