• Note3:

If you still cannot run an executable file after fixing the file association, there may also be a problem with the files type association as well. You have set the .EXE extension to associate to the exefile file type, but the exefile file type may itself be incorrect or corrupted so files will still not execute. Thankfully this is simply another line in the Command prompt.

Type ftype exefile="%1" %* and hit enter.

It will help you to fix the issue when you double click the file, the file itself will be executed with any additional arguments. You can also do this for batfile, cmdfile and comfile to change their filetypes to default. This should finally fix your executable running problems…
