For some reason whenever I try and open or run an .EXE file a prompt comes up asking me what program i would like to use to open it and never works... I just did a massive cleaning and am wondering if I accidentally deleted whatever automatically opens .EXE files and to redownload it or something... and please know that I do not speak computer very well and am not that technically inclined... please help!
