    I accidentally changed running program for ALL icons on my desktop


    In the 'open with' context menu, I accidentally changed the running program for ALL the icons on my desktop (ie. the tickbox below the 'Other Programs' was checked when i changed the running program for an unknown file). So now, all the icons on my desktop are identical and all of them run using the same program, how do i revert this back?

    Hello Lucifer, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Was this for all shortcuts (lnk), or a specific file extension that you had changed the default program for?
