Installing VS .NET 2003 SP1 changes .txt file type to SQL Trigger Script file

visual studio .net setup: After installing Visual Studio .NET 2003 Service Pack 1 on two machines
(both Windows XP Pro), Windows Explorer showed text files (.txt extension)
as file type 'SQL Trigger Script file' and they open with VS .NET 2003.

A small annoyance that was easy to fix by right-clicking on a .txt file and
clicking Choose Program... Notepad and ticking the 'Always use the selected
program'. box.

Hope this is useful to someone!

I had a similar problem, though my .txt files became type libraries... other
strange issues too, quite surprising really.

Another problem was that the right-click context menu - New - Text Document
had changed to SQL Trigger Script file.

Fixed by applying the .txt file association fix from
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

Why do MS release software which messes up file associations like this?
I've never known them to do it before.
