Right click on the icon and choose Open With and select the program you want
to run. Your post does not say if this is with a particular icon or all of
them.

Some how or another all your file associations have been changed to where
only Notepad opens when an icon is clicked (or double-clicked, depending on
whether or not you have the Desktop set to use Active content).

Personally, I advise you to take your computer to a professional technician
and have him fix it for you. While your'e at it, have him do a complete
virus/trojan/malware scan.
