I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, and accidently set Notepad as the Default Program to open all .dll files on my machine. Can't quite figure out how to ctrl+z this one. I don't know if this is significantly affecting my computer or not. It would be nice to know if it is and also how to alleviate this problem so I can restore the files to their original working order.

Jump to Postwell, you can do the same thing you did to set notepad to default, except set a different program. now i dont know what you did, so i cant really tell you what to do.
Jump to PostThe only thing I can think of is restore to a safe version.
Jump to PostWait hold on.
What does it matter what default program is set to open dll files?
Do you attempt to read/edit them directly?
Am I missing something here?

MidiMagic is pulling your leg. It doesn't matter what is the default program to open dll files, because a normal user like yourself is not supposed to open them. The applications that need them will access them irregardless in any case.
