So the other day I was going through the my documents folder and I found a weird file.
It was in a format my computer didn't recognise and the name of the file was Cozur_Snowy_Grass_What so I assumed it was a file for one of my games that had got lost.
Anyway I tried to open this file in paint (since it sounded like a texture file) BUT I forgot to click a box down at the bottom of the window that said:
The file was actually a link to the image so, because I hadn't unticked this box, EVERY link in my whole computer was now opening in paint!
To put that in perspective, if you wanted to open Google Chrome, you couldn't just click the link on the desktop, you would have to go and wade through the the C drive to find it.
Like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Once I was finally on the internet, I searched for ways to fix my problem. There were 3 ways that were given to me to fix it:
- Pay Microsoft to fix it
- Recode the computer
- Download a file that would recode the computer
By this point I was getting desperate, I even asked Nathan for help. (He just laughed and left me to sort it myself.) Then after an hour I found out that it could be simply fixed by using the control panel... I felt so stupid.
In case anyone else gets the same problem I will add a link to the page that helped me.
