| Vista Home Premium 32bit. | error setting up program defaults For some unknown reason out of the blue notepad.exe has set itself up as the default .txt file viewer. I'm trying to change it back to notepad++.exe but it simply will not let me do that. When I get to the part where I click on Notepad++.exe to set it as the default program, nothing happens & nothing changes. The program does not appear in the options. What happened? Anyone know how I can achieve what I want please?  |
