    I accidentally change the default file association of vhd files on my computer to use NotePad.  How can I set it back as it was?  When I select Open With, Windows Virtual PC does not appear in the listing anywhere,  if I select search online, it states Windows Virtual PC is the proper program, but offer no explanation how to set it so (what is the point of that)?!

    You don't open a VHD with VPC.  The VHD is simply a hard drive file.  You would open the .vmcx file to start a VM.

    If you wanted to access a VHD you would mount it through disk management.

    I corrected the problem.  And if I double-click on the vhd files it launches the VM for me, so they are in fact associated (now they are at least).

    @Moderators, please do not mark off responses as answers.  If it were, I would have marked it as such.
