How to Re-Associate an
"OPEN WITH" to a file type.
Please read the disclaimer at the end of this page, before preforming this procedure.
If you open a file from Windows Explorer and Windows 95/98 has associated the file with the wrong application, this can be fixed.
1.
Open Windows Explorer and select the file that you're having trouble with, by left clicking once on it.
2.
Press and hold the Shift key as you right-click the file once.
3.
From the pop-up menu, choose "Open With" to display the Open With dialog box.
4.
Choose the program you want to associate with the selected file type. You can choose the "Always" option if you want the system to always use this new association. Select OK to reassign the association.
Please note: If you re-associate a file with a given extension like .doc, .gif, .txt, etc. from that point on, all files with the same extension will use the new association.
