I am using PHPEclipse but the samew thing happens in any perspective I use
to open files. When I click to open a file, it opens in eclipse and
immediately opens in notepad also.

It just started yesterday with out me "knowingly" making any changes.

Why and what can I do to stop it?

It's probably just a configuration somewhere but I can't find it. Any
help is MUCH appreciated!

Maybe you at some point said "Open With -> System Editor"? If so, you
can change it back using "Open With -> Text Editor" or whatever your
favourite is.

what I ended up having to do was to delete the file association totally.
Then it worked.

Thanks for you input, though.
