All Programs Open With Windows Media Player in Windows 7

Hello Friends,

I recently came across a problem in my friends PC, whenever we tried to execute any program (.exe) file it opens in to media player, I tried changing the file Association option available in Windows but it didn't help and then after lot of research found that its due to virus which changes the registry value and hence the problem.

So here's the fix how to solve this problem
