most of the programs i try to open on my machine open with notepad . This happened
after i accidently opened a file i downloaded with notepad . I'm wondering now if
the file is corrupted or a worm . I did a virus scan but no luck.I wanted to do system
restore back but when i go to system tools->system restore , that program also opens
in notepad Garbage.
Also When i reboot the computer i get 19 programs opened in notepad on the desktop
including-tptray, apoint, ceekey, ypager etc . i also tried to open command prompt
by cmd and it also opens in notepad . Can any one tell me how to restore all the
programs to open with their default "open with" rather than notepad . Any thoughts
appreciated .
