Windows making me add .exe on everything when I type it into run

When I pull up Run on the start menu, usually cmd will suffice when I'm

checking things, but apparently for some reason Windows is making me put .exe

on the end of everything or else it will say not a valid Win32 application.

Anyone know how to cure this?

Try open a folder, tools, folder options, view, click the hide extensions of

know file types...

That is already checked.

Right click My Computer icon and choose Properties

Go to Advanced tab and click Environment variables

In System Variables, double click PATHEXT

If the value doesn't include .EXE then add it

Click OK twice

 

 

Good Luck, Ayush.
