Follow these steps:

1. In an Explorer window, find a file with the extension that you want to associate
with a program.
2. Right-click the filename and choose Open With from the menu that appears. (If Open
With doesn't appear on the menu, you have to use another method of associating the
file type with the program.) (If a small submenu of programs appears, select Choose
Program to display the Open With dialog box.)
3. Select the program to run, or click Browse to find the program file.
4. Click the Always Use The Selected Program To Open This Kind Of File check box and
click OK.

Windows Explorer permanently saves the association of the filename extension with the
program, and it opens the file you selected with the program you specified.

Associating Files with Programs by Using Folder Options

Another way to associate a file type (file extension) with a program (or change the
program associated with a file type) is to use the File Types tab on the Folder
Options dialog box.

Editing an Existing Association

To edit a file association, follow these steps:
1. Choose Start | Control Panel, click Appearance And Themes, and run Folder Options.
You see the Folder Options dialog box. (You can also display this dialog box by
choosing Tools | Folder Options from any Explorer window.)
2. Click the File Types tab.
3. In the Registered File Types list, click the type of file you want to associate
with a program. (Scroll down the list--it's long.) When you select a file type, more
information about that file type appears in the Details For File Type box. You also
see two buttons: Change (to associate one program with the file type) and Advanced
(to associate multiple programs with the file type).
4. To see or change which program Windows runs to open this type of file, click
Change. You see the Open With dialog box. Select the program to run or click the
Click Here link (in "If the program is not in the list, click here") to find the
program file. Then click OK. Close the Open With and Folder Options dialog boxes.
Windows now knows to run the program you specified when you open a file of this type.
