Default msconfig and regedit not working properly

Forgot to ask this question:

Is the problem seen for every other .exe file. Try Calc.exe for example?

Default msconfig and regedit not working properly

when i try Calc.exe..
msg is calc.exe is not a reconize command.
i am also try link that sent by u..but it seems to be not working...

Download exefix_xp.com utility and save to Desktop. Double-click the file to
run it. This utility fixes the .exe file association in the registry
automatically.

Additional tip: To run the utility silently (without any prompts), use the
-silent parameter. Open a Command window (Command.com) and type:

C:\Utilities\exefix_xp.com -silent

Assuming that the exefix_xp.com is placed in the C:\Utilities directory.



is not working fine.....

i am again remainding u abt the problem...when i open regedit ,cmd and
msconfig..they opened in notepad...but all .exe not open in notepad

If the problem is seen only when accessing those three system tools, then I guess there might be some sort of a Virus present in the system. I'd run a through scan.

Default msconfig and regedit not working properly

Try "%windir%\regedit.exe" in Start/Run.

Most viruses create bogus files wich .com extensions such as "regedit.com", "msconfig.com", so that the .com file is launched whenever a user types a file name without mentioning the extension and/or the full path. For example, typing "regedit" in Start/Run would look for regedit.com in the PATH first, rather than "regedit.exe".

If that does not help, perhaps you can post this issue in a security forum such as CastleCops, AumHa or others.
