file designation problems

[alex99]

I am having a problem when I go to open a text file, it prompts me to
pick a program to open the file then after I close the file when I go
to reopen it it prompts me again for the same thing. I also lose the
mapped network drive also.

You didn't mention the extension but from a command prompt;
assoc .txt
should return with
..txt=txtfile
if not
assoc .txt=txtfile
to restore the default file type association.

ftype txtfile
should return with
txtfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
if not
ftype txtfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
to restore the default open action for the file type.
