Opening programs
When I want to open a program any program like Word, Excel, Paint, Notepad, Windows Media Center or even the Calculator my Itunes opens instead. I 've gon into the Control Panel to change default settings but they appear to be correct. How can I fix that

Its possible that your computer is or was infected by malware. I suggest you run your anti programs, but running this Fixit should resolve the association issue where the wrong or a different program runs http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950505

This appeares when upgrade is done and the uninstaller does not correctly set the associatinos. Give a try to do changes manually in registry branch HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Regards Milos
