"When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program."
Hi Wiillam,
This problem occurs because the icon cache is not updated correctly.
Refer to:
Note: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it.

I downloaded a firefox security update. When I clicked on install (or apply), I was told it disabled my security from trend micro, and there is no version compatible with trend micro. He told me they keep control and let me know what is available. NOT GOOD. I paid a lot of money for my trend micro and want it to be functional. Help! I didn't click on finish. Does that mean the upgrade is not installed and that trend micro still works?
I seem to have fixed that by going to the site of Trend Micro and upgrade to the latest version of Trend Micro Titanium 2012 V5.0. It uninstalled the previous version on my computer and then install the latest version. Trend Micro is working now and I can browse with Firefox. The upgrade was free.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.
After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.
On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.
Help, please. Thanks Gene.
Thanks Gene.
Dear:
: Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.
Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?
Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?
Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?
Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:
Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".
Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx
If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder. It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:
Event type: Information
Event source: Windows File Protection
Event category: no
Event ID: 64002
Description:
File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:
Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.
For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.
Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."
A critical file, is it true? It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.
If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).
Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:
Control Panel
Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes. A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.
You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.
The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right? Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?
How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files? This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.
Now you know sfc/scannow does not. He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).
Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.
Run sfc/scannow in full again.
Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.
Now you know sfc/scannow does.
Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?
Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.
After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.
If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.
You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?
If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.
Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.

Help: Program changed by default for Internet Explorer, the .lnk files.
So yesterday, I did something stupid. I managed to change the default program for all my .lnk for Internet Explorer files. I am running Win 7 (64).
When I double-click on any file on my desktop, it tries to open the file with Internet Explorer. It is the same for most of the program files in my Start menu. I met some difficulties for this problem, but all were for the latest operating systems such as Vista and XP so I didn't run the risk of ruining my registry even more by running an obsolete program. If more information is needed just ask.
Help ASAP would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance people.
