Windows can't open this type of file

[helpneeded87]

I've been getting messages saying windows can't open this type of file (exe, link,).

I've been having other issues as well. At the moment I only have access to the windows 8 start menu. I can't get to the desktop. When I was able to get to the desktop the only files I could open were MP3 files. I also noticed that all of the icons on the taskbar and most on the desktop ( all except folders, video, and MP3) were white/blank. I couldn't open any folders or the command prompt.

One other thing. Although I have access to the start menu, nothing happens when I click on the apps.

It wouldn't hurt to run this batch file as administrator---

View attachment dism.bat

I saved the file to my phone and used another laptop to copy it to a flash drive. When I put my flash drive in the other laptop nothing happens. Not sure how I can access the file.

Clicking on This PC/my computer does nothing. Like I said before, none of the apps open
