HELP, I messed something up and don't know how to fix

I am working on an elderly neighbors computer, had it all up and running, I opened all programs, had my mouse in my hand, sneezed and somehow set every single program/favorites/ the files to all open with IE! I tried to fixit with opening each program to change it and it won't let me, what can I do to fix this? I have a system snapshot to restore things in Arovax but can't get the program to open to get it, even the MS-DOS is set toopen with IE!

I'm thinking you should learn more tricks before doing this for others.

The oldest trick in the book:
cache 
of http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1132271323
++F8+COMMAND.PROMPT.ONLY+SCANREG/RESTORE

|I have a system snapshot to restore things in Arovax

If you can't do something simple like run an executable,
then you really do need to learn more tricks.

  • View > Folder options > General > Classic style
