[Solved] HELP, .exe file association is locked to Notepad
Hello everyone, I am a computer fool who has just jumped on the Win7 bandwagon because i was tired of XP clogging my machine up ( not to mention infested with bugs).
I had wanted to run a .exe/.exc file and somehow, windows determined that Notepad was the best program to open it... the problem is that it has locked every other .exe/,exc file to Notepad, leaving my computer vulnerable. I cannot even open regedit. how do I overcome this niggling issue on an otherwise wonderful os... ?
Machine Specs :
OS : Win 7 Ultimate
Processor : P4HT 3.0GHz mildy clocked to 3.2GHz
RAM: 2GB DDR2
HDD: Main Seagate 500GB 16MB + 3 others
