weird application problem

I don't know if its neccesarily a 10.1.4 related problem but I've developed a rather annoying problem. Now a large majority of my applications or executable files are opening the app 'TextEdit' instead of the desired application. For example I go to open iTunes in my dock but suprise it opens TextEdit instead, and it isn't just the apps in my dock, I can go directly to my applications folder and it does the same thing! Has anyone else seen anything similar or have any idea how to fix this?

Wow.. something is seriously corrupted there. Probably something with the filesystem/partition.

Do you have an OS 9 cd? If so, boot off of that and run Disk First Aid on the drive and let it fix any problems, then try again. Good luck!
 
I ran Disk First Aid from An OS9 boot (not classic, classic is evil) but all it did was fix a missing custom icon, any other ideas? Anybody?

I have sharepoints and tinkertools prefpanes installed but i've had those there forever without any problems.
And I don't have any other extra drivers installed, I never even installed the Logitech driver because my mouse works so well without.
 
Thank you so much testuser! That did the trick, i deleted thos prefs and every thing was restored to working order.

And there was much rejoicing...
