[font=Times New Roman][size=6]
Hi Gurus: 
I am running on Desktop, Win XP Professional, SP3 Ver:5.1.2600.5512
Till yesterday this option worked fine, today only i noticed that if I
Right click on any file type (e.g. MP3, DLL), Open with -> Choose Program.. Opens Notepad automatically 
Does not allow me to choose a program as it used to before, I am using SP3 since two weeks now, but only today, this weird selection started happening. Is it that i am hacked??? 
I did use nlite to generate an .iso for backup purposes, never used this .iso file. In this nlite I opted
Tweaks Section -> General Tab -> Explorer -> Associate additional file types with notepad (explanation - Open LST, CFG and NFO files by default).
I do not think it has any significance, but wanted to mention anything i did related to notepad association. 
So any help in this regard is greatly appreciated by me and my kids and my grand kids....

RichieUK man that was a real fast solution. And i had followed your solutions to other users, and hence had that much confidence that i did not save my registry settings before implementing your changes. Hats off to your technical abilities.
It worked like a charm. Cant thank you enough.
If possible can u tell me how this could have been caused, so that i can avoid it in future.
Best regards.
