Lost file associations

Well - I think that is the problem.

WinXPhome / AMD / regular updates.

No shortcuts actually start anything. Double-click on anyprog.exe either does nothing or brings up a panel asking to select from a list or go to the web to select a program.

Actually, IE works, OE works, Printers works, Control Panel works but no apps in there seem to work.

I note that EXE is not amongst the file associations.

Help greatly appreciated.

 

OK - solved this immediate problem - HOW?

Found the reference to www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.html

Ran the re-associate files posted there and the correct programs run again when double-clicked.

Thanks for that reference - works great!
