Solved How to change what programs open my software

[bLue8]

Hi, when I plugged in my flashdrive my laptop gave me two options and one of those was to open with Microsoft Office which is what I chose. This caused all of my software to be opened with office, which doesn't work. All of my icons changed to Microsoft Office and then I changed them to adobe. I can't open any of my software like CAD or my Internet Explorer. I How can I get my stuff back to normal?

Welcome to Seven Forums.

This should help
Default Programs - Set a Program's Default Associations - Windows 7 Forums

After setting program's default, when you plug in a flash drive select Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer.

That's great!

But would you share how you fixed it to help others?

Sure, I just made a different user account and deleted my old ones afterwards. My computer is fairly new so I didn't have any important files on it, which meant I didn't have to transfer them. My software was working properly again by making this account.
