So I need to edit this batch file, and I right-click on it to open it with something else. I found (which, it's logical!) particular option was not there.
I created a shortcut for this, in the hope that the option within this drop-down list, which he was. I chose Notepad, then BAM. Every single shortcut on the computer
opens with Notepad. I tried to click 'open with a default program', but who has just missed even more. But wait, it's even worse! Now my internet it is fucked up.
Whenever I open it with its program file, it just opens upward from the downloads page; for Chrome and explore. I can't make a new log in because I gave a flash drive large enough to hold all the files that I need and I just need to stay on this one. Please help soon

Hello
Basically, you need to restore default file Associations.
When you double-click a. EXE file, the program may not start, instead, it can open in Notepad
(view the contents of .exe), or you can jump into any other application.
