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...

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.
