Notepad and other programs trying to open in MicroSoft SharePoint

Question

When I click to open notepad or microsoft word or other executable program, they are all opening MicroSoft SharePoint instead with a blank page except for a strange looking symbol on the page. I uninstalled MicroSoft SharePoint and now my programs are opening normally. How can I run MicroSoft SharePoint without it doing this (and why is this happening)? I've uninstalled MS SharePoint and then reinstalled it and the same problem occurs. Thanks!

It's hard to tell what might be going on based on your description. It sounds like you must have installed SharePoint on your local machine (as opposed to a server). If you're doing that and are having this issue, then I'd wonder why you are installing SharePoint in the first place.
