Hmm.
Explorer seems to be working fine. All icons on the desktop are there as before. Maybe the "duy.exe" that I deleted served that purpose (i.e. association). The question is how to fix it.
Oddly, I can still open all the files where I know what program to utilize. Fortunately, that includes Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word and Mozilla Firefox. Unfortunately (so far), it does not include System Restore so that I can revert back to 8:40 ET last night.
As an aside, it opens Firefox by going to the Internet and downloading an exe file first (apparently). If I'm not hooked to the Internet, then Firefox won't open. Maybe that's a helpful clue.
Thanks again, Charles. I appreciate your insight.
Best wishes,
Frank
