    Right click on the file of your choice

    Click properties

    Under the "General" tab click on "Change..." and then select which program will open that particular type of file.

    This change to everything wanting to open in one program like Notepad is usually the result of an infection.

    Make sure you computer is clean. Run a scan with your anti-virus program.

    And also with an anti-malware program like Malwarebytes or SuperAntiSpyware.
