OK, I keep getting this message whenever I try to run a program. There is a way round in XP, right click then go on Run As and remove the tick from the box. However, you have to do this every time. Anybody got any idea why it's doing this?

EDIT: OK, I found a fix. I think it's due to a virus, it changed a registry key. If anyone else has this problem, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\exefile\shell\ open\command

and make sure that the key data is:

"%1" %*

Mine had winampw.exe in front, seems of a bit of an odd way to edit it, owell it's fixed now!

Yeah, my friend got this virus, it took more than that to remove it though, did you use the norton guide?

I had to reboot to safemode and use command prompt to copy some system files, plus the hack you described to remove it, not to mention removing the infected file with NAV
