Start by ruling out profile corruption. Can any Administrator account
run executables? Try clearing a profile and then logging back on to
get a new profile. Does it work now?

Check the path system variable, found under Environment Variables.
Save the current path to a text file. Then, reset it to the default,
reboot, and retest. If the problem continues, restore the path.

Third, verify the Exefile Shell subkey in the registry. It may become
corrupted. If this is not the problem, try backing up your system
state and importing the EXE regfile from www.kellys-korner-xp.com.
Reboot and retest. If the problem continues, restore the system state.

One of these options usually resolves the problem for me. If this does
not help you, please let me know and I will do some research.

The default path variable in Windows 2003 is:
%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
