Howdy from Key West, As I was messing around with CCleaner I came to a part where it said I could get rid of unused and left over file exts. or program exts so I did. I found out I had deleted all my programs. I can't open anything, EXE. DOC. LIT. and all the rest. All I see is the blue panel that says"....windows cannot find a program to open this file would you like to go on line or..........." I'd been fighting with vista since day one and hour one and was trying anything to get straightened out when I deleted all my programs. I even backed my files up but cannot open them. Is there any hope for this noob canidate for the Darwinian Awards? any help will enormusly appreciated, I'd even gladly pay to get straightened out.........Thanx in advance, BikerBill
