File associations/Icons Windows 7

[Dave H]

Seems like you may have told your system that gnucash was the default
program to open txt files with - gnucash doesn't do this on it's own.  To
fix it open windows explorer and right click on a .txt file then select
"open with" and then "choose default program" - if your system gives you
options that include Notepad, click on Notepad otherwise you may have to
navigate to where Notepad.exe is installed and select it manually.  Mines
in C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe on Win 8.1 so probably Win 7 is the same.

Cheers Dave H.
