1. Right click on the file you wish to open and choose "Open With" from the menu.

2. Choose the "Choose Program" option:

3. Then scroll through the program list to the program that you want to use to open the file.

4. Select it.

5. Check the option box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".

6. Click OK.

This will change the file association for the file type to the selected program.

I hope this helps!

Dwight
