Executable

Most of my executable files are opening in Notepad. What do I do?

Most or all?

Try applying the .exe association fix from here:

Another MS blunder.

Windows is the only OS that relies on file extensions to determine
file associations.

Double click on a jpeg file names "some picture" in GNOME or KDE
(Linux) or Mac OS X and what happens? It opens.

Do that in Windows and....

nada.

Only in Windows would it have to be named "some picture.jpg".

Considering all the advancements in Vista it's amazing that dinosaur
still exists.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
