I started having trouble opening all my programs... A 'Open with' box appears only the message "choose the program you want to use to open this file: file: * .exe ', and I only have two choices, either Microsoft Office OneNoteQuick Launcher or Wordpad... Since none of them are the program that I want, I click on the Cancel button, the popup disappears and the program does not open. Internet Explorer is the only exception it opens when I click on Cancel.

Application not found error-choose the program you want to use to open this file
Soon all the world.
I really hope that someone will post a reply to my question as soon as possible. I will try to be as descriptive as I could possibly, in order to solve my problems.
The main problem is that I can't open some, if all the program files, applications on my windows 7, 32-bit laptop. I'm constantnly get application not found error, showing in a small window address, I was trying to do. Whenever I want to open a program, like the Adobe reader, word of microsoft, excel, mozilla firefox, google chrome - basically everthing, a window opens and is telling me this: choose the program you want to use to open this file: file: acad.exe... and recommend me acrobat from adobe program, any program I was trying to enter (in this case autoCAD).
Cannot open cmd, when I go to system recovery, it says: System Restore could not start. I normally post records in: C and: D sheet music, play music, watch videos and see photos. I found a "hole" not being able to go to the internet via a browser. I discovered it when I went to an online help in some of the trobleshoots. It would open tab in google chrome by itself and then on it, I can browse the internet normally, but only through the said track.
Currently, the microsoft security essentials performs a custom analysis (: C and: D), because I suspect it is a malware, or some kind of virus. It happened when I tried to download a program from CAD Solidworks 2012 via a site that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention, that I don't want. Unless it's okay with you :) It begins with a letter t. By the way, I noticed that my: partition D has accumulated 10 GB + more in the space of a few days, because I remember two weeks ago I had close to 70 GB of free space, now it's about 56.3 GB. Curious, because I know that I did nothing so great in this period. Maybe I need to tell you that I get this window, from time to time, when I browse the internet (I never visit suspicious sites, or at least I don't me remember more I visited one in a very long time, like 4-5 months):

Original title: Windows 7 - Application not found. A big problem or easy-peasy?
HelloThanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
- What is the complete error message you get when opening a file?
- What happens when you try to open the command prompt?
- What happens when you try to access the internet by using Internet Explorer?
- You did changes to the computer before the show?
According to the description of problem errors you get "application not found error" and "choose the program you want to use to open this file" and not being is not able to do system restore, it seems that some windows file is corrupted. I also suggest you to post back the results of analysis.
I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:
Method 1: Run SFC scan and check for corrupted Windows files and violations of integrity.
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Method 2:
For any question, where his prompting you to select the default programTry to set the default values for the programChange the programs that Windows uses by defaultFor any question, where you are not able to download and install firefox, download the file and save it and then try to install firefox.
I hope this helps. Please let us know the results. Feel free to write us again for any help.
