Oh dear. My files are messed up.

Well, earlier today, I was opening a file that was supposed to be opened in mspaint (.INK file), and I somehow mucked it up so that Steam, WinRAR, Fraps, and Skype, along with all the other programs, now all have their icons set to Windows Live Photo Gallery, and they all try to open with that program.

Anyone know how to fix them so that the actually open with .exe?

um

shortcuts are .INK files and you aren't supposed to open them with mspaint

you probably set it up as the default program to open it

Sorry; I meant that all the shortcut files are trying to open with the windows photo viewer.

uh yeah

you probably set the file to be automatically opened by picasa or media viewer or whatever because you thought .ink was an image file

Annnd....how do I get it back? I can't select "Shortcut" from the default program list, can I?
