I check it have the Recovery partition, but I check with him, he said he didn't received any recovery CD. I also can't find any recovery instruction (any key to press to go to the recovery setup menu). After I browse the web I finally found the solution:

Recently I have client's PC which have the above problem. To solve the above problem you try
restoring the .EXE file default file type extension.

Kindly click on the link here for the original tutorial site. Below is the Tutorial :

Restore Default Windows 7 File Extension Type Associations

information Information
This will allow you to restore the default registry entries and program associations for the Windows 7 file extension type of your choice.
Note Note
This can be helpful for example when a file extension type opens with the wrong program by default, has the wrong icon, or is missing or corrupted in the registry. Downloading the .reg file for the selected file extension in the tutorial below, will restore that file extension back to default for all of these items above.

Since there are so many default file extension types in Windows 7, it may take a bit to have a complete list of them below. If the file extension type you need to restore is not listed below yet, then please post a request for it. I'll be happy to add it to the list.
warning Warning
You will need to be logged on to an administrator account to apply these. As a backup, you should create a restore point before applying the downloaded default file extention below. This way you can do a System Restore to go back to before you applied it if needed.

These default file extensions should only be used in Windows 7.





Here's How:
1. Click on the file extension type link listed below for the one that you wish to restore to default to download it's .zip file.

2. Save the .zip file to your desktop.

3. Open the .zip file, then extract the .reg file to the desktop.

4. Right click on the .reg file and click on Merge.

5. Click on the Run button in the Security Warning pop-up.

6. Click on Continue (UAC), Yes, and OK when prompted.

7. When done, you can delete the downloaded .zip and .reg files on the desktop if you like.

8. Log off and log on, or restart the computer to apply.
