How can I re-install .exe files oe reset exe file extension

[Geoffleste]

Can anyone help me to re-install .exe files, as I stupidly corrupted it in the registry and it now shows as "%1"%* on all .exe files.

This occurred when I was trying to correct the file as it wouldn't open some programmes.

Now I can't open ANYTHING that is .exe

Even a clean boot which also needs a .exe file!?
