Everything opens with Windows Media Center...Mama is frustrated!

My 13 year old daughter had a friend over who downloaded a movie from the Internet. When it asked "open with", she entered Windows Media Center. Now, EVERYTHING is opening with Windows Media Center (E-mail; documents; pictures; etc.). I was able to get some things converted back by going to the Control Panel and changing the Default Programs for the ones I am certain of, but there are a ton of programs still defaulting to Windows Media Center and of course, won't open at all.

I hope I have explained the problem well enough and sure appreciate any advice I can get.

Oops...forgot to add: our computer is a Sony Vaio. I don't know if that is necessary to know or not. I'm new here...can you tell?

Thank you!

it sound like your problem is file association....
