Screwed EXE files..

[Recursion]

Hello,

I accidentally did an "Open With" on an EXE file and told it to open with WinRAR without unticking the "always use this program" box, now I can't open any .EXE files...

Help?

Nope, but I found a fix :) I managed to open Command Prompt by:

1. Right click > New .txt file.
2. open it and put "cmd" in it then saved it
3. rename to OMGITSBROKENZ0RS.bat
4. open it so CMD comes up
5. type REGEDIT
6. Used http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/165/1/Restore-the-exe-file-association-in-Windows-Vista-after-incorrectly-associating-it-with-another-application.html

Now just the icons are screwed =]

EDIT: Totally fixed xD
