Hi fencingfanatic13,

It looks to be a problem with the windows explorer. The reasons it could be happening is that there might be a program that is changing the extension to the windows explorer. Such as adding new menu items for a application or even a small change. In short you can look at if you have installed any new applications and if they have changed some routines. Another problem could be malware or other adware programs such as these that have been recently installed.

Please feel to contact us at [e-mail] and we will work with you one on one to figure it out as there could a number of problems.
