programs turned into notepad help!?

Tory Clapper: NotePad is a text editor. Programs require their own editor. More than likely you have already corrupted your program files if they were saved from NotePad.Ron

Tatiana Evanosky: it just changed all your programs to a default of opening them with notepad. There is no easy re-do with that, especially if your clueless to what they are suppose to be and restoring is a bad option for something so small. Future reference, right click, go to open with and go to notepad if you even need to do this again, then it won't make it the default program. There is a way to do it with windows, I posted link below.
