I am using Win. XP Home with SP-2. On Sat. 2/12/05 I did something really
stupid. In "My Computer" program files I tried to delete an EXE. file which
would not delete. For whatever reason I R clicked on it and selected "open
in notepad". The result was that most all of my programs want to open with
Note pad. When my PC starts I get 12 Note Pad windows with the program name
and Note Pad in the title bar. I got into System Restore Via Safe Mode and
restored to a week ago with no result. I also used "Last Good
Configuration" with no result. I ran SpyBot Search & Destroy in Safe mode.
Nothing showed up. I got into my A/V program (Trend PC Cillin) by opening
it in "MY COMPUTER" and found no virus. I also use a HOSTS file from the
MSMVP web site.
In Control Panel the only things that will open properly are
Adm. Tools, Folder options, Network Connections, Portable Media, Print,
Scanner, Scheduled tasks and Taskbar. This is an example of the gibberish
contained in the NOTE PAD file when I opened "Display":

I can get into event viewer and some of the error messages are as follows:

This file was restored to the original version to maintain system
stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.2180.

IPSec Services: IPSec Services failed to get the complete list of network
interfaces on the machine. This can be a potential security hazard to the
machine since some of the network interfaces may not get the protection as
desired by the applied IPSec filters. Please run IPSec monitor snap-in to
further diagnose the problem.

I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. I would really like
some help on this.
Thank you,
