Sounds like a bunch of Windows registry corruptions to me. File associations (which seem to be the problem here) are handled by the registry and it's that which relates associations to applications to open them in. You clearly have some kind of defect which is forcing everything to open in Notepad.
Download a registry scanner and let it clean up the mess, making sure to keep a backup of the current registry before you do. Hope that helps.
