Please help!

I can't open any programs. They're all .Ink instead of exe for some reason. When I click on any of my programs a screen comes up saying "windows cannot open this file"

Does anybody know anything about this? I can't even open system restore to try to fix this problem.

 

What was the last thing that you did before the problem surfaced?

 

If you are so inclined......you may want to check this out.

It seems that your file associations for .EXE files could be messed up in the registry.

I don't remember doing anything. Everything was fine the night before.

 

try the tips in the Troubleshooting System Restore section: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_restore.htm

im trying to look up the Run command for system restore but cant find it....yet lol

 

Thanks a lot guys. I'll just pay some technician to restore it. I'll lose everything =(
