Okay so here is the thing.
Recently I discovered that all of my .txt documents (Notepad documents),
their icons have been changed to a folded page with the original logo in the
middle.
And also the description for the document is no longer Notepad Document but
it is now "TXT file"
And Notepad is no longer an option when creating a new file (Right Click in
a folder > New)
But even though all of this is happening, I am still able to open and edit
TXT files on my computer with notepad as if nothing has gone wrong with it.
this didnt bother me at first but now it's interfering with me installing
certain programs because they cannot find the notepad.exe file giving me this
error message.
"Cannot find file C:\DOCUME~1\OWNER~1.YOU\LOCALS~1\Temp\RarSFX2\NOTEPAD.EXE
(or one of it's components)"
Which reminds me, there is also no TXT file registered under "Registered
file types"
([in windows exlporer] Tools > Folder Options... > File Types tab)
I already tried reregistering the TXT file and setting it to Notepad but
after doing so it's like my actions were undone or never applied.
I know this may sound like a lot but i am in DIRE need of a solution.
Any ideas?
