My son called me crying claiming that i couldn't run no programs at all on his Vista computer. This phenomenon appeared after he uninstalled 7-zip. After digging around the net I found this exe-fix. That solved the problem and it solved his total dispair and my frustration not be able to help him.

Me myself runs XP and refuses to use Vista...

Again, many thanks.<br/><br/>

I used the lnk fix, and it worked great.
I had copied a shortcut file from an XP to Vista and could not open it.
When asked which program to use, I chose Explorer.exe and forgot 
to uncheck the 'always use this program to open this type of file'. 
Not only would Explorer not open the file, but it renamed every shortcut file on my Vista system to .lnk (for example... SystemMechanic.exe.lnk) and nothing would work to fix it... except your fix. 
You have saved me from buying a new Vista DVD because I have lost my old one.
Thanks again.<br/><br/>

Windows Vista will ask you if you were sure that you wanted to open the command prompt as an administrator, say yes. Now from there type:

You say "Use right-click - Save as option in your browser to download the fixes".  When I right-click I do not get a Save as option.  Also do I  merge the whole file or a part of it.

What I want is to get back the "Extract all files" in Windows Explorer not Internet Explorer<br/><br/>

Just in case anyone had my problem:

I wasn't able to merge files, as the file association problem was stopping me running that option, and i couldn't choose "run as administrator" to override it. 
To fix in this kind of situation, simply open regedit and import the reg file!
