Initial conversion to php
Wrote index.php Moved all asciidoc source files into new src directory Created index.ascii for keeping track of post index (and allow for drafts easily) Updated styles to allow for styles unique to the index page Fixed a few issues with various posts Added tracking code

+EXE Disassociation
+==================
+:author: Aaron Ball
+:email: nullspoon@iohq.net
+
+I recently fixed a computer with a problem that I have not seen in several
+years.
+
+As every IT guy knows, files in Windows typically have an extension and that
+extension is what Windows uses to determine which program should be used as the
+default for opening that type of file (.docx Microsoft Word, .txt Notepad, .jpg
+your image program, etc).
+
+That being said, what program is used to open .exe (executables / programs)
+files? I actually am unsure as to the answer for this one. I presume Windows
+sees an executable file and knows to run it as a program rather than a file
+that is loaded by another program.
+
+
+[[the-problem]]
+== The Problem
+
+Unfortunately, Windows can lose the association between a .exe and how the file
+should be run.
+
+This is set in the registry but without the ability to run executable files,
+one can't run regedit to make the changes.
+
+
+[[the-workaround]]
+== The Workaround
+
+Make a .reg file that will correct the problem.
+
+Just open the following link, download the file called EXE File Association
+Fix, and run it.
+

+
+Restart your computer after you have run the registry file. After logging in,
+your executable assiciation problems should be fixed.
+
+Many thanks to [http://www.dougknox.com/" Doug Knox] for this fix.
+
+Cheers all!
