Last night I was trying to install Microsoft Flight
Simulator 2004. The programm stopped intalling but a
folder for FS 2004 was intalled inside the fplder was a
program icon. This icon didn't show what it was. I opened
the properties on that icon and opened it with wordpad.
Now all my programs only up in word pad. How can undo this
problem. I can't use system restore because it also only
opens up in wordpad. Can someone help me?
 
Sounds like you've got a virus. Run your anti-virus program with the latest
definitions. Then get one of the free programs like AdAware to check for
Trojans. If you're not running the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall,
make sure to turn that on, too.

this may fix your problem. if you run on XP then it should but if you run linux then dont speak to me ;-)
