Change which program opens particular types of file
If you want to change the program that runs a certain type of file (make mp3 files open in Window Media Player, for example):
- Right click on a file of that type
- Go to the “Open with” menu, and select “Choose program”
- If the program you want to use is in the list, click it. If it isn’t, click “Browse” and navigate to the program
- Click the “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file” check box
- Click “OK”
That should change the program used for the specified file type to the one that you want.
