ugh!! im so tired of my laptop. i cant do anything on it. every time i want to open a program the "open with" window pops up asking what i want to open my program with. I cant open my yahoo messenger because it only lets me open programs with adobe flash or notepad. which i cannot open everything with that. i manage to open the internet only because it is one of my options for the "open with" window. help! if i dnt fix it im just going to reboot my laptop :((

See here: Restore Default Windows 7 File Extension Type Associations

Start with the fix for .exe. That should resolve the problem.

nbarrios,
I'm afraid you won't get a lot of the right help in this particular forum. You have posted in the operating system forum and it really sounds like you need to start in the malware forum.
Only trained staff can help you with these sorts of problems, so check out this link and I'm sure you will get the help you need.
