dumbass needs help

dont know how.just downloaded a plane and even that is in notepad form,no folder.gettin pissed off.
 
scruff,
I no longer have Vista but if I remember correctly, it has to do with file types and views.
I always found help just by googling a short phrase about the problem. Vista has a plethera of websites with answers to just about all of the problems. Hint: stay away from MS Vista answers websites, they are not helpful at all. I will go out and look for the ones i used most and come back and post them.
 
Can you post a screen shot of your My Documents folder view- like this one?

I am having a heck of a time figuring how you could have gotten your folders associated with notepad. I don't even believe "Open with" is part of the context menu when you right click on a folder.

The reason I want to see a screenie is so I can tell whether the folder icons are still there or if all folders now display a notepad icon.

Are you sure you didn't just accidentally associate zip files with Notepad?

how do i post a screenie maskrider.i opened the folder using the open with thingy and used notepad.since then all the folders i downloaded are buggered.
 
Do you have a "My Documents" icon on your desktop?

If yes, double click it. When it opens does it look similar to the screen shot I posted?

FYI to post a screen shot click on the Print Screen key. This will place an image of your computer screen onto your clipboard. Then go to MS Paint (all programs/accesories) and paste it in (edit/paste). Then save it as a jpg file and upload it to your forum post as an attachment.
 
ok masrkrider,i will try tomorrow,my beds calling me.later.
