I want to open my download with

When I download a file, (try to download net framework) it goes into my downloads.  When I go to my downloads to open I get a box asking me what I want to open it with.  I never got that before on my other computers.  Download just opened.  Don't know how to get around this problem.

Your computer may be infected with malware.

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\system32.  Find notepad.exe (you can not see the exe ' ' at the end) and double click it.  Notepad opens or you we the same error message?

Your desktop shortcuts work correctly?

If you get the error message with Notepad or your shortcuts don't work, then

A. download, install, update and run scans (one at a time) with each of the following free tools:

MalwareBytes AntiMalware
SUPERAntiSpyware

Remove any found object.  You can uninstall programs once you're done if you wish.

B. then go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm READ the instructions at the top of the page, then download and use the EXE File Association Fix and (if necessary) the difficulty of LNK file Association.
