Programs will not open; says 'no program associated with it for performing this action, create association in folder options'. Affecting all my programs.

I got rid of a virus, but it seems to have struck my registry. None of my programs opens. When I click on them, I just get a tip line that says no file association. I tried the system restore and it goes through the process of restoration, but then the same message appears, no program association. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

Firstly, if your computer has been infected by malware, you removed and then use the system restore, chances are good, that the malware was placed on your computer.

Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.  Once there, click file, and then hold down the CTRL key and click New task (run).  This will open a command prompt window. On the command line type assoc.exe = exefile > press ENTER. You should receive a prompt action succeeded.

Your shortcuts may have been separated as well. On the command line type assoc.lnk = lnkfile > press ENTER.
