When I click on it it asks me to select a program to use to open it. The same
applies to the other icons in the control panel . Why is this ?

See if the following helps (wild guess).

1. Open a CMD.EXE window.
2. Type the following commands, pressing enter after each line:
assoc .msc=MSCFile
ftype mscfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe "%1" %*
3. Try Services in Control Panel.
