Accidentally caused all .exe programs to open in Notepad



My friend e-mailed me a .lnk file, and I chose to open it with Wordpad. I think the check box for 'always open using this program' was checked, because all of my links now are opened using word pad. Is there a way to undo this?



Answer



There are two ways, but only one tends to work:


Go to Start -> Default Programs (on the right or just type it in). Click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Scroll down to .lnk and change the program.


If that doesn't work, then take a look here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/172053
