I was about to run Fallout 3 and I accidentally changed the .exe to open with Crypto Shell Extensions. Now the .exe thinks it should open with that rather than open Fallout 3. I have tried the fix where you merge an exe reg fix and that didn't help. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game as well and it is still the same. I can play the game through the launcher but the .exe itself does not work. How do I get it back to working as a proper executable file? I have Windows 7.

What you've got here is more of a general PC question. You have to go into the registry & undo the file association. (It can be very stubborn!) What version of Windows are you running?
