Windows Media launching for other programs

[IR Epic F4il]

Well, i installed some things on my computer like utip and some games and they were working fine. Then i started using windows media to see the internet tv options on there but now on some of the programs like utip and Skype the picture change on them to the windows media picture(still named of the orginal program). I thought it was no big deal and then i tried to us it and now it only opens up windows media. ( I click on Skype, it opens window media instead of skype) Some programs like firefox still works but some programs i cant access at all. ( even some programs i download will show the windows media picture and when i click it will take me to windows media instead of the program) Any idea on how to fix this? Or has there been another link on this? (This is on windows 7)

If it happened just recently, do a system restore and restore your PC to an earlier date.
