ok, I clicked on one .txt file and was prompted with an "Open With" window and selected one of my programs called 'Alcohol 120%.' Since then, EVERY .exe file opens up Alcohol, even regedit, system restore, etc. I proceeded to uninstall Alcohol 120% and now I jsut get an 'Open With' window looking for a program to open up any .exe file. I found a temp solution by going to the directories for my programs and clicking on the .exe files from the folder, but I always still get the 'Open With' box to popup. From a tutorial I found online, I was able to go into the registry via Safe Mode with a Cmd Prompt and checked the HKEY_Classes_ directory and everything looked fine like it's supposed to look, so I relly dont know what to do. Im running 32 bit Vista Premium Edition btw.
Well a .txt file opens natively on windows in either Notepad or Wordpad... Alcohol 120% is a CD/DVD burning program... When you get the 'Open With' box. Under the program selection window. There should be a checkbox with an option to 'Always open this type of file with selected program'... You just need to make sure your opening the file with the proper program...
eh. i'm not sure... virus or spyware possibly messing with stuff? never ran into that problem myself, its really strange to say the least...
On my desktop, I just had to reformt everything. It was so infected that NOTHING would open... Thats what I get for letting my younger siblings use it all the time...
