Windows editor

OK i did something really dumb but cant figure out how to undo it!

I tried to open a program (while i was on the phone) and choose to open it as editor. no my computer tries to open everything as ms editor which make my machine useless pretty much i have to use the "open with" utility on xp to open any programs!

This is hell and some programs like the restore function doesnt work now as a result.

Please can anyone help?

Thanks,

Welcome to the board chem.
Unless anyone else know's a quicker way,i suggest you try this.

Open Windows Explorer.Go to Tools > folder options.Click on the file types tab.
There will be a long list of file types.Scroll through the list and find the ones you are having problems opening.Highlight them,(one at a time).Each time you highlight a file,if it's associated program has been changed you will see a restore button(bottom right).Click the restore button,then click apply.Continue through the list until all associations are back to default.

Hope that helps.

Update: if the "restore" button is not there,click the "change" button,and choose the appropriate program from the list that will appear in a new window.

Yes welcome to the board chem7
dont know any other way to do this except what Rev's already suggested, if your having touble with knowing the various file associations/extensions. Then use this as a guide, hope it helps:)
