Scan the txt for viruses or anything harmful, if nothing is found, transfer them to a different computer and see if they open there.

Clearly the problem is that you are using a Microsoft product.

Try this:

   1. Click the “Start” button.
   2. Click on “My Computer”.
   3. Along the type of the screen, after “File”, “Edit”, etc…, click on “Tools”.
   4. Click on “Folder Options”.
   5. A new window with numerous tabs along the top will open. Click on the “File Types” tab.
   6. You’ll see a list of all the different kinds of files on your computer. Click once on the type of files whose icon you wish to change.
   7. Click the “Advanced” button at the bottom of the window (above “Ok” and “Cancel”).
   8. A new window will open up. Click on your desired icon, and press “Ok”.
   9. Click “Ok” again, to close the Folder Options window and save your changes.
  10. All files of the type that you selected will now use the new icon.

[By the way, Microsoft removed this feature in Windows Vista. You can't actually change your filetype icons any more without special/hacky programs]

Space, part of is problem is that the txt is a recycle bin icon (Which you've helped him fix), the second part is that he can't actually open them.
