    Try right clicking on a file and choose properties.... On the general tab there should be something called "Open with" and click the change button beside it.... You should get a menue of programs that you can open the file with.... Choose the one you want and click ok.... Then click apply and try re-opening the file once more.... It should work....

    One exclamation point is plenty.
    Something screwed with your file associations and icons.

    It's quite easy to fix, and there are many tutorials. Just google "restore file associations in windows" or something along those lines.
