Useless .exe files

Why is it that most of the .exe files in C:\Windows\System32 don't work. The
only thing that happens is a cmd prompt screen pops-up and then dissappears
quickly. What's up with this?!

If you only do what you already know, you end up humping things all day.

Re: Useless .exe files

Just as Hobbes said..its how I learn new things...and If I mess up to a point
that nothing will work, I will just reinstall Vista...it wouldn't be the
first time.
