    I inadvertently changed the properties on an exe file to open with notepad. Now all exe files are set the same way. Needless to say, none of them will open except as a bunch of jumbled characters in Notepad. Can anyone tell me how to change it back to allow Windows to open the programs instead?
    I'm running W2k pro.
    Thanks
