screen saver file problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Help ... I have always made shortcuts for screen savers for instant access,
but for some reason all the .scr files are opening in notepad so a shortcut
won't work. The screen savers still work in display properties and can be
set as default but I want instant access to them. There is no option on
"right click" to change the program to use for opening the files. How can I
change this?
