Hi all! I have a strange problem here I've never heard of before...
When I try to open a program in Windows XP via my Start Menu, by using the normal method of left-clicking on a file name, instead of opening the file, it opens a "save as" box asking me to save the file! The only way I can open the file is by using right-click and then selecting "open with" and the relevant program.
It's been acting this way for a month or so... Otherwise I haven't noticed any current glitches. Any suggestions how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
