Can't open programs

[MyPcIsOnFire]

Hi yesterday i couldn't open a program so i chose "Open as" and didn't realize i had "always use this program for all files" and now nothing at all will open except my browser and everything is saved as a .EXE file i have windows vista and need help thanks. Also whenever i try and download something it saves as a .EXE

PS: Im not too tecky so bit by bit instructions would be nice
