hey guys,
my mate had some spyware on his comp and since deleting it every program he tries to open opens through wordpad.
wtf indeed
even right clicking the desktop and clicking properties results in wordpad being opened. in every case it says in word pad "this program cannot be run in DOS mode". searching goole i found something that says this is what happens if you try to open a win32 program using a text editor.
what is even more strange is that if you try to open word for example, you get the problem, but if you try to open a .doc file, word opens fine.
so does anyone know why windows is doing this every time i try to open a program? and how can i stop it?
