Exclamation Vista problems

Hi guys I need help,I mistakenly selected a downloaded .exe file to be opened up with windows media player,in turn all of my .exe files now try to start in windows media player.I tried to delete windows media player and got denied due to not having permission.I try to set up myself as the administrator but it will not keep it saved as it.I also try to open "msconfig" but yet it opens with media player. I cannot delete anything also.Thank you for the help
I'm new to vista,I need help before I put xp on it.
