Hey Rodney!
It happens that sometimes people accidently set there default to another program .exe (like Internet Explorer in your case)
No need to worry about. Here is a solution for you.
1. First Click on Start>RUN, Type "CMD" (without inverted commas)
2. Type on CMD "cdwindows" (without inverted commas)
3. It will take you in the windows, now type here regedit to edit the registry of windows.
4. Now go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.exe
here change the value of default key to exefile, in the right side pane,
5. After doing all this you have to go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTexefileshellopencommand
Again here in the right pane change the value of Default key to "%1"%*
6. Here we done it. now only after restarting your windows you will be able to open all .exe files in their default programs
Thanks
