I don't know what that means. He started to do so after we have some malicious and unwanted software on our computer.

But how do I get it back, just double click and the program opens as usual?

Hello-
I'm looking for here (or get) help directed to the right forum regarding an error message I got when trying to open a PDF file. The error message indicates "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel. "To be quite honest, I don't have the slightest idea as to what to do with respect to this message and I need some advice ASAP. I have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and if I have to contact them instead about my problem, please let me know.
LeeBee

I can't open my c or d ' training or any other when I click it
Hello
· Remember to make changes to the system?
This happens because autorun.vbs is created by a virus or Trojan horse. The virus normally loads the file autorun.inf in the root of the folder all the hard drive or USB key and then run the autorun.bat file which contains script to apply and merge autorun.reg into the registry, with possible change in the following registry key to ensure that the virus is loaded at system startup:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
USERINIT = Userinit.exe, autorun.exe
Finally, autorun.bat will call wscript.exe to run autorun.vbs.
When the antivirus software or security detected the file autorun.vbs as infected, the file will be deleted or deleted or quarantined.
I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below and check if the problem is resolved.
Method 1:
I suggest running the fix which is present in the article below and check if the problem is resolved.
When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505
If it does not help follow method 2
Method 2:
a. run the Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del or right click on the taskbar)
b. stop wscript.exe process if available by selecting the name of the process, and then click on end process.
c. then terminate explorer.exe process.
d. in the Task Manager, click on file-> new task (run?).
e. type cmd in the box text open, and then click OK.
f. type the following command one by one, and then press the Enter key:
g. del c:\autorun.*/f/s/q/a
h. del d:\autorun.*/f/s/q/a
i. del e:\autorun.*/f/s/q/a
Where c, d, e each representative the drive letters on Windows System. If there are several disks or partitions available, continue to command by changing on the other drive letter. Note that you must also clean files autorun from USB flash drive or an external portable hard drive as the hard drive may also be infected.
If this does not help, follow the method 3.
Method 3:
a. click on start and click on run
b. type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
c. Press ok
d. you will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in the successful shell32.dll file

Hello
1. you are using an email client or Webmail?
2. If webmail, you use Internet Explorer browser? If so, which version?
A default program is the program used by Windows when you open a particular type of file, such as a music file, an image, or a Web page. For example, if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer, you can choose one of them to be the default browser.
Define Internet Explorer by default and see if that helps.
