I just did something on win7 and every short cut has suddnly changed into a notepad icon, everything is being opened with note pad.

Any ideas how i can get this changed back?? I cant open anything unless i go into c drive.

Every short cut and icon in the programs menu if effected.

Help!

Oh and maybe this, in hindsite, was a bad idea but i have system restore off...

Also all NEW short cuts i create turn into notepad icons :S

I sent you a mail via trust if you don't resolve it by digging through the above links.

The zipped fix from the mentioned site seems to be correct anyway.
