Phoenix Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 very easy..in windows explorer, click tools -> folder option -> filetypes...there you find a list with all known file types...there specify the program with which you want to open that filetype...

Timenn Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Or delete a file-type if you want Windows to prompt you with what program you want to open that filetype everytime you open such a filetype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Dont select the option "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" or you will recreate the association between notepad and that type of file (type = extension, i.e. txt).That choice is available when you try to open a new file type and windows asks you what program to use to open it.

Megashrap Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Also there is a check box that says always use this file type to open this type of file uncheck that,then choose the program you want to open it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
