I Accidentally The Whole Thing

So this happened last Thursday. On my Facebook status I wrote "I accidentally the whole thing" which got a lot of attention. And by attention I mean two people. And by two people I mean my mother and a cat. For real. His name is Garfield and he looks like this-

He likes roast beef but I digress.

Anyhoodles. Thursday was the day I decided "Hey, I need to move all my MS Paint albums to a more public site where all can enjoy." My boyfriend's mom suggested a place to go check out. It seemed easy to use, a lot of freedom in how you want your page to look like and so on. So I try to download the software. Everything is going hunky-dory. 

Get it? It's like Dory and she's.... hunky..... yeah.

Everything was going smooth until I found out my computer doesn't support the specific type of files that were downloaded. So I troubleshoot here and there, try to open it in different places and things and no luck. 

This was when I destroyed my computer in the worst way possible.

I decided to go along with a suggestion I found on Yahoo Answers, because everyone knows everything there. Want to know how to cook a pork chop? Yahoo Answers. Want to find out what it's like working at Dunkin' Donuts? Yahoo Answers knows all! Want to know where to find mosquitoes from the Cretaceous Period fossilized in amber, clone a styracosaurus and ride it through a teapot shop in China Town? Yahoo Answers will tell you exactly where to go and find that mosquito!

This particular response suggested to try to "Open With" Internet Explorer. I did just that. And found out by doing that, I somehow managed to switch everything in my computer to open with internet explorer. And I mean everything!

MS Paint wanted to be Internet Explorer, so did Word, Excel, Google Chrome, Media Player, EVERYTHING! I'm pretty sure I did something worse than any virus. You ever want to troll someone? Do what I did, make everything open with Internet Explorer.

So how did I fix it? Well... I had to search for an answer using the only thing that actually worked on my computer....

Internet Explorer.

The thing about Internet Explorer I think is that it's like asking your ex to do you a favor but that ex is a hairy friggin goblin and he just... sits on top of a toilet all day listening to Nickelback.

And he's not even nice about it like "oh sure, I'll do that for ya. BTW how've you been, how's the new flat working out? I heard you landed that promotion, I'm so happy!" NO! He'd say, "HA! I knew you'd come back to me. Remember that time you called me useless and the only thing I knew how to do was crash at peoples' houses and how I never responded to anything you said to me?? Well look at me now!"

In a nutshell, I read I could either A) Change the programs back one by one and I'm just not that tech savvy or B) Do a system restore.

So I picked B and all is well again. 

And that is how I accidentally the whole thing.

It's a cinnamon bun.
