OMG OMG I cant open exe files
Author
Might, but dont. Though the .com solution is pretty nice. Good I didnt modify the .exe and .com extensions lol.
Heh, My guess would be IE can still run because of the tight integration with the Windows OS, you can type a web address into any old folder/explorer window and load up a website. Doesn't Windows do automatic backups of the Registry? How about checking your Restore Points.
EDIT: Nevermind

Can you try to copy this to a .reg file, dbl click it and see if it correct the problem?
HTH,
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]@="exefile""Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"HTH,

Thanks for trying to help, but I fixed it using regedit.com instead of .exe.
P.S. Even if it would of helped, there would of been no way to save it cuz I couldnt open up notepad.exe. Ofcourse, I could of opened notepad by making it a .com, but why do that when I could fix it with regedit.com?

You could always open up command.com and use edit.com to create the file.
They exist in 2000, I assume that would work in XP as well.
Anyhoo, glad you fixed the issue.

Wow I never knew about command.com. Neither about edit.com. Thanks for telling me about them! May become useful once upon a time lol. And yes, they work on xp too.
Editing random values at random, even if you have some reason, can be...fun and a good way to learn!
When I first discovered the BIOS on my 8086, I turned that 512 Kb floppy drive into a badass 1,2 Mb by just...random editing! (It actually worked, just like that burning holes in floppies trick, well nevermind). Seriously though, if you can afford to risk a format C:\, it can be good to play around and maybe google some things you screwed up. Nice one!
