DELETED THE .EXE FILE FROM MY REGISTRY HELP!!

[madmanX]

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.

This is taken from a virus fix posted elsewhere in this forum.
It would seem to apply here.
Whether it works, or not, I cannot take credit for. /images/forums/icons/wink.gif

Copy everything between the lines below into notepad.
Save the file by naming it fix.inf
Right click on the fix.inf file and select install. This will re-associate the .exe file extension.
You can then run your programs again.
