Vista - Vista's Media Center Opens All Files... Everything

I am trying to help an online friend of mine with a strange problem. It is
Vista Home Premium. For whatever reason, all of her programs try to open in
Media Center and obviously fail to open. It is almost like the reference
for .EXE files has been changed would be my initial guess. We can't seem to
find a way to correct this issue so I thought I would give this newsgroup a
try. Might anyone have any suggestions to correct this issue without doing
a Vista reinstall?

Thanks In Advance,
BT
