  It is no longer a row of icons at the bottom right, and asked me to choose a program to use to open files

  Hello and welcome to Microsoft Answers. It seems that your computer is infected with malware. The first thing you need to do is re - associate your executable files with applications.

  First

  Click Start > run > type cmd in the Run dialog box, and then press ok. On the line of command prompt type "assoc.exe = exefile" without the quotes. If you are unable to open the applications follow the second below.

  Second

  Right click on start > search. Type rundll32.exe in the field of the files to be searched. Choose to search for your main drive (usually C). Select the search hidden files and folder advanced features. Click on the search button to start the search. In the results list, find the associated rundll32 file C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386. Right-click on rundll32 to the left of the directory above and choose 'open file location '. The rundll32.exe file should be highlighted when the folder opens. Right-click on the file and choose copy. Then, in the search results list, right-click on rundll32 which corresponds to C\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe and choose "open file location". Again the file should be highlighted. Right-click on the file and choose Remove. Right click again in a free space in the folder and choose Paste. If this does not resolve your problem, you will need to get a windows OS disk and extract the file from there.

  Once this problem is solved, you will need to perform several anti-malware analysis. You should start with Malwarebytes. Make sure that you update the parser before the scan.

• How will I know what program/Application is associated with a given file extension?

  General question: How can I determine what Application is using a certain file extension? Some are well known, such as .doc for MS Word, MS Excel .xls, PDF for Adobe Acrobat. But is there a master list somewhere which is viewable by the general public?
  This question came from what I was gettnig low disk space on my hard drive and do some research, and found a group of 5 files with extension. ECW, for a total of almost 50 MB. After trying for a few hours to find on the Web, what type of program may have created these files, I let fall, back up the files on a CD and has deleted and restarted. So far, no bad consequences, but still a little scary.
  I think that all software manufacturers should have to register their extensions with MicroSoft, correct? To repeat: is there a list published, or how to find this information in the future?

  Alphabetical list of filehttp://filext.com/alphalist.php?extstart=%5ED extensions

  Scroll to the end, click on the alphabet to find the extension and program to open with.
