My Dell laptop recently updated, since then all my documents now carry the google chrome icon which is pretty annoying.
I do also use Firefox but use chrome as so much stuff is synced with it.
Chrome is a bit of a PITA as suddenly I can't log onto my bank via Chrome but Firefox is ok
My primary work email is with gmail so unsure if I stop using Chrome my emails may be affected....probably I'm not thinking this through so any help would be much appreciated |  |

Sounds like the document filetypes have been assigned to open with Chrome.
Right click on one of the files, go to Properties and change the "Opens with" to what you'd prefer. You'll have to do this once per filetype (so an xls, a docx, etc).
Alternatively you can go through
Start > Settings > Apps > Default Apps
and from there either "Choose default applications by file type" or "Reset to Microsoft Recommended Defaults" to do them all at once if you were using the stock programs before. |  | | |
