    Hello everyone. I have screwed myself once again with this mistake, and i said to myself this time this is enough. i will wind a way to fix this. so i looked on google, but withe a single wrong word, one could possibly never find what he needs. so i explain to all of you.

    When you have a file that has no program that opens it on your computer, it has a blank icon (or something that ressembles a DOS screen with a blue bar and 3 little dots, anyway we all know what im talkngi about). well we always try to open the file with notepad sicne it will read what has in it. well this time i wanted to see it, but forgot to remove the ''Always open with'' check. so now the file always opens with it.

    The program I want it to open it with is not on my computer, so i dont want to make it open with something else, but rather make it ''un-openable'' with notepad. or persay reverse my action i have done. so that with my ftp program i can edit the php file and not have it open up in an unreadable notepad file.

    any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.
