From Ut's site:

Press Start>Run and type cmd in the box and press OK.
At the command prompt type cd c:\windows and press return.
Type copy regedit.exe regedit.com and press return.
type regedit.cm and press return. You should now be in the registry editor. On the menu bar click file and select export. Save the registry as registry.bak.

If Registry Editor opened successfully, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ exefile \ shell \ open \ command.
Double-click the (Default) value in the right hand pane and delete the current value data, and then type:
"%1" %* exactly as shown including the quotes and asterisk.
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe
In the right-hand pane, set (default) to exefile
Exit the Registry Editor.

Worked like a charm!
