Lost assocaition with .txt files

[terrypin]

D-clicking a TXT file in Win 10 File Explorer normally opens it in .my text editor, TextPad. Now it opens no program. (Not sure why; could be down to my playing with the obscure setting 'Write Unicode and UTF-8 BOM'.)

So I used 'Choose default applications by file type' and set TXT to TextPad, but no change.

Mysteriously I now have somehow got the correct association back. No idea what caused the loss or the recovery!

I think this area is quite confusing in Win 10. The list of 'Default Apps' covers only six, and TEXT is not one of them. A strange omission IMO!
