Found a link that helped me fix this. Now just got to reset all my desktop icons. I make sure that the jpeg and jpg file associations were correct, but most of them are still showing up as notepad icons.
Tried to run javax.exe and for some reason it asked me to specify what program to use to open it. Not sure why, but I tried notepad, now when I try to run most programs (including regedit) comp just opens a notepad with garbled text. I am running windows 7. How can I fix this?
