Files with the .exe extension are executable files for most applications that we use every day. By installing any program on the computer, we create a shortcut for it on the desktop to facilitate the search. But it happens that just yesterday a working program does not open under any manipulations.
Suppose you encounter this problem: EXE files do not start. In this case, a window often appears in which you are asked to select a program to open the file. In this case, first you need to check your computer for viruses and malware. If your antivirus is outdated or absent altogether, the first thing to do is install a scanner or antivirus of an updated version and scan your computer in deep scan. If you often use a portable flash card and take information from different computers, then you just need to install a program designed specifically for portable USB-devices. When a flash card is connected to a computer, it scans it for viruses, worms, and malware, because of which EXE files do not start. There are many such instructions, but they take up a few resources in the system of your machine. But it also happens that the user accidentally makes changes to the registry, thereby disrupting his work. Of course, then EXE files do not open later. In this case, you need to restore the registry to make the file executable.
How does this happen? Let us describe the problem in more detail. A user or malware disables registry editing. To enable it and make the necessary changes, you need:
Go to "Start> Run ..." Then at the
command prompt, type: "gpedit.msc", click OK, then "Group Policy", select "Local Computer" in the list that appears, then go to the line "User Configuration", then "Administrative templates. "In the
dialog that appears, select" System "... In the" System "window, find the line with the name" Make the
editing tools of the
registry unavailable
. After all, the problem that the EXE does not start is related to the virus. It puts the registry editing into state - "On", making changes evozmozhnymi.
In the "Properties" window, disable the function that does not allow you to make changes to the registry. After the reboot, everything should work. In order not to enter the information into the registry itself, you can download data suitable for your operating system for it.
If the EXE files do not start even after that, you can manually type in the information or download the reg file. It must be called arbitrarily, double-click on it and open. Then you need to go to the command line: "Start> Run", enter the name of your created file (with the extension reg) and click OK.
If after the work does not work, use an anti-virus utility to recover data. If even after running this utility your EXE does not start, try reinstalling the operating system on your computer. Before performing this procedure, save all important information to a disk that will not be formatted.
