    MPQ always opens with notepad

    Hello! I'm not sure is this the right forum for this, but...
    I accidentally opened a .MPQ file with notepad, and now .MPQ files always open with notepad and model edits don't work! I give +Rep if someone helps me.

    Edit: Oops, accidentally clicked the "Request" tag.

    MPQ's load succesfully. Even if you have optioned to open it with notepad.

    2 things can be wrong.

    1 = that you haven't started WoWME Fix correctly.

    2 = that your mpq isn't named like "patch-9.MPQ" with patch in small letters and MPQ in capital letters.

    And if you mean that you can't open the MPQ Files anymore with any MPQ programs, try Mywarcraftstudio. It just opens it perfectly.

    I tried it and both work.

    Do the impossible, see the invisible

    I start WoWMe.exe, press F8 at the username and password screen. The MPQ is named correctly and i'm using MyWarcraftStudio 0.10. I can open them with MyWarcaftStudio but they don't work. I'm using the WoWMe.exe for 2.4.3.
