Somehow all exe files became associated with windows media center. Even all shortcuts have the media center logo. This blunder is worse than a virus and shouldn't even be possible without major confirmations. For some reason windows wont keep a restore point on this particular machine, so i can't restore. So, I need a script or reg fix to reset the file associations. Thanks

Restore the .exe file association in Windows Vista, also works for Windows 7 http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/165/1/Restore-the-exe-file-association-in-Windows-Vista-after-incorrectly-associating-it-with-another-application.html

Many Thanks! Worked like a charm :)

I'm glad it worked, thank you for taking the time to reply.
