problem: All exe files are opening in vlc

When you try to open any exe file or say shortcuts then it opens in vlc media player that is horrible. I have found some solutions try them .

1.  click here  and fix it.
   If you are unable to open Internet Explorer to access the link, hit the Windows key plus r on your keyboard and copy and paste the below command in the Open Box (this assumes that W7 is installed on your C drive):
   
   rundll32 shell32.dll, ShellExec_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
2. download and install
   Fix .exe : click here to download
   install it . this works many times.
