Thr bad programs are set to open the incorrect files

I have major problems, and I tried to solve this problem for a while. Currently, Adobe Reader is ready to just open the start menu and Skype, OpenOffice, Quick Time Player, and AVG 2011 on my desktop. All my OpenOffice Writer documents open with Notepad and it's driving me crazy. Open Office does not open and I need!

I tried to change the program by 'open with' and "choose program by default", but none of the default ones are the right ones. Help!

It happened for a few days and I tried to restore the files.

Looks like your file associations have got blurred.

If this has not been a problem for too long, the best way to clean things up is to do a system restore to a time before you had this problem:

"How to restore Windows XP to a previous state"

Otherwise, it's fixed for certain types of files available here:

'Windows XP file Association problems'

Finally, you can manually reconfigure your file associations on a basis of extension-by-extension:
