I mistakenly set all .exe files to open with wordpad. now whenever i try to
open a .exe file, it opens with wordpad and shows a bunch of unreadable
characters (example...
ìjsçîÕÑO¡bþ_ôÝ_ó3Tð_^;.'IC¶¶å¼Á°EȱOÓâBVO_K?«bî«R;ÉH__N_òR_Èò0ëÏ?îÙÛ1q[
@_SØéR^èà_mVÖ.?ØncÏV .Z_?´_¥.u¿ÄΨ¯>÷Ïoý0ÂðµeªæhX.æå). When i first log in,
all my startup .exe files open in wordpad also.
if i right click on an .exe file, it does not give me the option to "open
with..." anymore. if i right click on an .exe file and select properties, i
do not have the "change" option that is usually there to select which
program
to open the file with. if i highlight the .exe file and click file on the
menu bar, i do not get the "open with..." option there either.
i am really stuck with this one and not sure how to resolve it. i am running
windows XP Pro and a standalone laptop. i appreciate any help you can offer.
