My reading comprehension might also be shit right now, but try this...
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

I had almost the exact problem, except it was pretty much everything in my Program Files folder rather than just .exes If that doesn't work...then yeah, probably virus. Either scan for it or reformat.

Edit: I actually forgot the original place I got the registry files, but a google search brought this up and it looks just like it.

It kinda sucks when Vista doesnt actually let you make a "true" administrator account, you have to enable it. Open CP as administrator and type "net user administrator /active:yes". Then log out and you should see another hidden account.

And how is that account a truer administrator than any other account? Because it's account name is Administrator?

I think you will need to modify the permission settings

at least this is the way i deal with such vista problems.

i cant explain more atm, but i am going to edit this post asap

u can google it too

keywords like: "modify" "vista" "permission" "system files"


edit: oh nvm that worked

Vista is incredibly annoying for that stuff. "Are you sure you want to run this program?" "YES FFS I CLICKED ON IT DIDN'T I?"
