What the heck is Microsoft (R) MediaLoad

[Azee]

Clicking on a .TXT file does not open although it
usually did and was associated with Notepad.

Notepad dissappeared from the contex menu (right click)
and right click menu shows " Microsoft(R) MediaLoad "
in it's place.

I deleted the association with .TXT files under file
types associations and add it again to create a new
association between .TXT files and Notepad, but
Microsoft(R) MediaLoad keeps getting associated with
.TEXT files instead.

Notepad opens normally if I open it by itself.

I can not fin any info. about Microsoft(R) MediaLoad.
I checked for HBO's or spyware on the computer but it
is clean and SFC did not find any altered files either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Working in Windows XP Pro.
