I have a file that tries to open with the wrong program. How do I change its association, so it opens with the correct program? |

WinMe automatically associates a file with the program in which it is written, assuming that program is located on your computer. If you store files from programs you do not currently have installed, or if you just want to "trick" WinMe into opening one file type with another program (for example, if you want WordPerfect files to always open in Word), you can change the file associations for that particular extension. From the Start Menu, select Settings, Control Panel, and then Folder Options. Click the File Types tab, and WinMe will display all the known file types and with which programs they are associated. You can now add new file types or edit the programs associated with existing files types by clicking the appropriate button and navigating to the desired program association. |
