Why is this happening?

[assimilation]

So the thing is that all my .exe files somehow got associated with some random program (adobe reader,windows media player ) and when i run them they dont open but those above mentioned programs opens.
When this happens i cant run system restore,task manager nor regedit,because they are also exe.I fixed this after spending few hours on internet and searching for solution,actually fixing this was easy when i found .reg file on some forum,which takes back .exe values to default.
This problem still comes back sometimes but i dont know what is cause for this?

If the problem keeps coming back, I would suspect some piece of software on your computer is to blame. Three things I would do:

1. Think of anything you installed on your computer around the time/just before you started noticing this issue, especially those that aren't very well known.
2. If you are running a registry cleaner, don't.
3. Scan your computer with a program such as MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Infections can cause issues similar to this.
