Exe file associations not working

[Gay Backpacker]

Windows 7 Ultimate on a Lenovo T410 Laptop.  I'm an end user.  I think somewhat sophisticated, but I never use regedit. 

When acrobat did an update it somehow changed all of my exe file associations to open as a file in acrobat in one proflie.  After 6 hours on the phone with microsoft and another 3 hours with Norton, norton solved the problem with my main work profile. 

But I'd forgotten that at the same time all of my exe files in a different profile were opening in Windows Media Center (I still blame Acrobat).

Unfortunately, I can't run Tweaking.com on the bad proflile (I'm really sure it is NOT a virus--just somethign acrobat did in an update)--because when I click on it, it brings up the Windows Media Center.

I ran tweaking in safe mode with networking in the profile that works, but that didn't change the file associations in the other profile. 

And I purchased the pro license.   

Thanks.

If the exe is opening with the wrong thing you can fix it easily

In the folder of my windows repair program, go to the files folder and then right click on "fix_exe_hijack.inf" and click install. This will fix the exe association. If that doesnt work you can also go to "files\regfiles\file_associations\7" and double click on the exe.reg file as well.

That should put the exe back to default.
