program lost all file assoc's

<< < (2/2)

Shane:
Try doing somethings in the new user account and see how it does. If everything works then the problem is something with the other user account and not Windows.

Once you confirm I will know where to start looking :-)

ok  yes guest account worked, i just never allowed to many things to go on that . what i did have was ok .
after some research i found a program to fix the .exe files, all seems fine so far .  just did the fix 2 min ago and reboot , start menu all came up , things seem ok .  i 'll run a few checks and get back in aday or 2 .
 i still cant figure out how that happen, or what happen ,but it was some thing the user account itself ?  some reg file ? or ?  IDK  ?
Also i still havent looked up that yantoo pagerage thing ?  maybe the cause ? but it was after Spybot 'cleaned' that ,scan w/ malwaresbytes 'clean' ,and ran tweak B4 i rebooted ? i probly should have reboot b4 i ran the tweak

Shane:
Odd, my repair tool fixes the exe permissions as well. But there is one thing I forgot to have it do. It is suppose to delete these keys under the current user reg

HKCU, Software\Classes\.exe
HKCU, Software\Classes\secfile

My repair replaces the missing exe keys but doesnt delete those 2. I will update the repair to remove those keys as well :wink:

that sounds as reasonable as anything i can think of , but you know alot more then i do on that stuff . i have no clue, as to the files you mention but they must have something to do w/ user ?  anyhow  i ran several things, cant find any problems now . but the tweak worked well and my speed is back up .  the restore buttons work  even tho i didnt run them , they do seem to work .i looked in the logs and didnt see anything that seem out of place , they all looked the same to me. but i should have posted it for you. my bad .
 so  thank you for your time w/ me , sorry to been a bother , just  never came across that type of problem b4.
 ps: soon as i can afford to  . i'll send a donation , i really do like this program

Shane:
Yes the exe keys that needed to be removed are located under the current profile in the reg. I have updated the exe reg file in the program and will be part of the next update :-)
