Hi GrimR, I've done that already, and it does default to Applications, but it is not saved. Once that windown is closed, I can reopen it immediately and exe does not exist. I've tried this a number of times, and the result is always the same. Based on one of the first replies to this thread...

I will run hijack this and post the results asap. Thanks!

tlcscousin, Thanks for the suggestion. I actually pulled that from one of the other solutions from filext.com (XT or Windows 98, I can't remember which one). I also changed the runas\command key to the same thing, rebooted, and still have the problem. For the record, those entries were both...

bad news. The second link you provided takes you to www.dougknox.com. Although this page is helpful to some, He does not address any Windows 2000 problems. He focuses on XP and Vista. If you look at the first link, there are registry changes that are made if the registry merge does not...

I have a problem with .exe extensions. They are not connected to any other program, they do not open, and I can't assign them in the Folder Options window. When I go to Folder Options to assign .exe to applications, .exe doesn't exist. So I create it, assign it to applications. When I come...

ok.. I'm going to close this thread. Since I figured out one problem, I'm going to start a thread on the other problem.

Update: I seem to have fixed the problem with finding autocheck. Windows 2000 now starts normally. This required a registry change, and I can go through it if someone asks. I don't have the notes in front of me. However, I'm still having trouble with the operating system finding .exe files...
