C drive problem

Last time I tried to defrag my computer it crashed, and the icon for my C drive has been missing. Also, I cannot access it by double clicking. Everytime I double click my C drive, it gives me a window that says:

"Program Not Found
Windows cannot find setup.exe
This program is needed for opening files of type 'File'."


But I can access it by right clicking "Open."

I've tried searching for "setup.exe," but I'm not even sure what setup program I'm looking for. For a while it was directed to "setup.exe" for a driver for my cd-rom. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your time!

Edit: I'm running Windows 98 on an old Compaq Presario. Here's a pic that might help:

Re-Edit:
Ok, I now know that it has to do with <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;228903&Product=w98" target="_new">the file not being associated with the correct program.</a> I'm up to step 2 in the suggest resolutions, but I have no idea how to reassociate it back to being recognized as a "drive."
