HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
Step 3.
Change 'files32.vxd "%1%* to "%1%*".
Step 4.
Exit the registry
Step 5.
Start Windows Explorer. Make sure that your system is configured to show all registered extensions. Go to View > Options and check the appropriate settings. Switch to Windows\System directory.Delete the file 'files32.vxd' and empty your recycle bin.
Step 6.
Click Start > Find > Files or Folders. Search all drives for the file 'Pretty Park.exe'. Delete it and empty your recycle bin.

MS-Dos section:
Step 1.
Start your computer in MS-DOS mode. During the boot process hit the <F8> key. From the menu choose <SHIFT><F5>. All of the steps below will be carried out in DOS. You should be at a C:\ prompt.
Any text in Bold means you should type it on the DOS line.
Step 2.
Type: regedit /e file.reg hkey_classes_root\exefile\shell\open\command
This will export the registry key that needs to be edited, and place it in a file.
Step 3.
Type: edit file.reg
Opens the file in your text editor.
In this file, look for the line that reads:
@="FILES32.VXD \"%1\" %*"
And edit so it reads: (Take out FILES32.VXD and possible space after)
@="\"%1\" %*"
Save the file and exit edit.
Step 4.
Type: regedit file.reg
This imports the edit you just made back into the registry.
Step 5.
<CTRL><ALT><DEL>
Your computer will restart and you will be taken back to windows.
