I've trouble trying to undo the "recommended programs" thing that ruins some of my downloaded games, which uses some type of file I've screwed up with.

The only problem I had to solve is to undo the recommended programs on JSON files.

Helps are appreciated. Blue_Happy1

> Dunno how to undo it

Some people just aren't cut out for computers.

You should try some sports, instead.

Fine.

Since no one's helping except giving lazy-ass answers, a admin could lock it if they want to.

I explored my whole computer stuff like the start of 2013. I am not an expert of every program yet, but you cannot tell that I'm a noob on computers. If you cannot help, please do not reply.
