Vista Problem (RC1)

    Hey,

    I’ve been running vista for a while now (maybe 2 months) and haven’t been hugely impressed yet but in saying that I wasn’t too disappointed either until a few days a go, when I was downloading C++ Builder from Borland’s Website, I was using IE7 to download it, when it had finished downloading I opened the file and I got a pop up appearing to tell me to choose a program to open it with ( this seemed strange as it was an .exe or at least I thought it was an .exe) in my rush to get the thing installed I mistakenly selected IE7 to open to program (what an idiot!!!!) but this has had a knock on effect, now when I click on any .exe IE7 tries to open it (WTF!!!!) I can’t even open a command line, Regedit anything like that…

    So my question is how do I set the default for what opens an exe? And btw what exactly opens an .exe

    Vista version RC1 with latest updates.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Rename it to a .com file ? As I remember the sequence goes from .exe to .com, worth a try. That said I haven't used Vista yet so don't know the system.

    no offence but borland c++ builder is rubbish and so bloated.

    i also echo "get the RTM" plea.
