Windows 10: I made my wad files into internet explorer

So I was trying to install mods to Hotline Miami 2. When it asked me what I wanted my wad. file default to be I accidently press internet explorer. When I try to change the default app it only says internet explorer and look for more in the Microsoft store.

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

 

Converted .wad files to notepad by accident

I went to the ‘Choose default apps by file type’ and click on .wad it just says ‘Choose an App’ and shows Internet explorer, Notepad, and ‘Look for an app in the Microsoft store’.

 

Converted .wad files to notepad by accident

Yes, I am sure the files were supposed to be used to open the game.

When I chose ‘Open With’, it just shows Notepad, Internet Explorer, and some other computer apps, I can try to see if there are any other apps listed that can help but they’re mostly just word apps like Excel, and then it just asks if I can see if there’s
an app in the microsoft store that can open .wad files (and there isn’t.)

Could I maybe use a word app that can handle the files instead and it’ll solve the problem? I’m nowhere near a tech expert though I’m still aware that it would be wise to make a copy of any file before I change it (and not on accident).
