Open Command Prompt (run as admin) type cd\windows

Press "Windows key + R" on your keyboard type regedit

locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.exe in the right side pane change the value of Default key to exefile

On the registry editor go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command

in the right side pane change the value of Default key to "%1" %*

then restart your computer
Hi!

I did up to point 3. But then I don't have HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile, so I can't move on... Could you please help me with this issue?

Thanks so much!
