Please help , restored info on drive that got deleted by mistake to original locations. Now all exe files are try to run as dos files and has no icon on them anymore. Any help or advice will be helpfull.
The files recovered are damaged that is why the icons don't show and Windows treats them like MS-DOS COM files.
It's not possible to repair files of this type, only to reinstall the software would be the solution.

Thanks Richard , but this was all installers in my source directory that are damaged now. It said "execelent" on the repair page before repair started. All zip file are ok just the exe that is "damaged"

Recuva always states "Excellent" if clusters are not in use by other files it doesn't always guarantee that at some point the files cluster haven't been overwritten.
If you want to verify valid Windows executables then select a file from Recuva and look at the "Header" tab on the right it should show "MZ" at the start and a few lines down "This program cannot run in DOS mode".
