Good Day Everyone!
I accidentally changed the default program to be opened by a shortcut file.
All shortcuts of mine will open itself using notepad++ instead opening itself as .exe file or so.
How do i fix this problem?

Hi,
References to Vista also apply to Windows 7. When you double-click an .EXE file, the program may not launch, instead it may open in Notepad (displaying the .exe contents), or may launch in any other application. http://windowsxp.mvps.org/exeasso.htm
