I was browsing on my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit) and I accidentally change all my default programs to Notepad. Now the default programs are Notepad and almost all my programs will not run. Please help.

Hi NavigatorX,

Are you able to access System Restore? If so, try to restore the system to a time prior to this incident and let me know if that corrected the file associations.
