I accidently erase my .exe file under my HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and now I can't open the majority of my program like morpheus instant messanger and others. I can't even download too, please help. How can I get my .exe file back into my registry that I accidently deleted.

Try running <a target="_blank" href=http://home.earthlink.net/~rmbox/Reticulated/EXEfix08.zip>Exefix</a>.
It should restore your registry keys.

Another possibility would be running this inf-file, that one of the Gurus posted recently:

[Version]
signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg=EnableRegandexe

[EnableRegandexe]
HKCR,\.reg,,,"regfile"
HKCR,\regfile,,,"Registration Entries"
HKCR,\regfile\DefaultIcon,,,"C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe,1"
HKCR,\regfile\shell,,,""
HKCR,\regfile\shell\open,,,"Mer&ge"
HKCR,\regfile\shell\open\command,,,"regedit.exe %1"
HKCR,\regfile\shell\print,,,""
HKCR,\regfile\shell\print\command,,,"C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE /p %1"
HKCR,\regfile\shell\edit,,,"&Edit"
HKCR,\regfile\shell\edit\command,,,"C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE %1"
HKCR,\.exe,,,"exefile"
HKCR,\.exe,"Content Type",,"application/x-msdownload"
HKCR,\exefile,,,"Application"
HKCR,\exefile,EditFlags,1,D8,07,00,00
HKCR,\exefile\shell,,,""
HKCR,\exefile\shell\open,,,""
HKCR,\exefile\shell\open\command,,,""%1" %*"
HKCR,\exefile\DefaultIcon,,,"%1"

Save as Exe.inf, rightclick, and choose 'install'from the contest menu.

Good luck, Tony
