Hi,

1.
Did you make any software changes to the computer recently?
2.
Is that an issue while opening all the programs?
3.
Are you able to open a particular file in the correct program? For example a word document in MS Office word and so on.
4.
Do you have the proper icon images?

Method 1.
This seems to be an issue with the file associations.
Follow the below link that will automatically fix the file associations ‘When you run an .exe file on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7-based computer, the file may start a different program’:

If you are able to fix the file associations, you should run a Malware scan on your computer to check if this is caused by a virus infection.

Method 2.
If the above method does not help in resolving the issue I would recommend you to perform a system restore and check.
