.dat files

[aastratech]

Hi,

probably very simple to fix but hopefully you can help.
All my .DAT files recently changed to be opened as a Video cd movie. I have changed this to always open with notepad again but the file icon still shows as video cd although it will open as notepad.
How do i change this...it is not causing any issue other than it looks strange when i open the folders to see the icon.

thanks in advance.

Shirt, right click, open with and click the change icon (depends which OS you use but that's the plan) and select notepad.exe and there's an icon in there.
