This is going to be an easy fix I know but nearly every icon on my desktop changed to a windows media icon and if I launch any exe file, windows media launches instead. This happend whilst download/installing yahoo messenger. I have looked through defaults and cant find a fix. I created a new user account and its works fine. Does anyone know how to fix this ?
 
cheers for response but I think this was me changing the exe association rather than a virus, i just dont know how to change it back in windows 7, could do it in all earlier versions, just windows 7 doent have .exe association in the default programs and I cant find it. This was done whilst installing messenger which I trust...... so ????
 
So click on the link I provided and follow the instructions for re-associating exe extensions.
 
That worked, many thanks. If theres anything I can do to return the favour let me know.
