When viewing the Settings/Folder Options/files Types/change.

the check box for "Always use the selected program to open this type of
file" is greyed out. I want to change the file association and the icon
that appears but the "check box" apparantly wont let me.

What do I need to do to be able to change the association permanently?

any help appreciated.
 
Hi,

What file type? Some cannot be changed.

its a .mid and a .midi......there are about 6 apps that will run it but I
only want one app to use with it.

Hi,

Check the options of the program currently associated with it, there is
likely a setting within it that locks the file types to that program. You
need to disable this.
