I have changed the miRc.exe file type to wordpad by mistake, after that I suffer now. I can not open any .exe file, all .exe file will automatically open with wordpad. I can not run regedit too, it also open with wordpad.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
This problem is only related to .exe file, but I don't know why I can still use IE and connect to Internet.
