How to change the program my computer wants to use to open a certain type of file?

Go to the file you wish to open's icon--- right-click it. It should have a 'Open With' choice. Click it.

Next: If you don't see notepad as a choice, use the 'Choose Default Program' or 'Browse' option.

Hope this helps, and G' luck.

right click the file, choose open with then select notepad from the list of program icons. If notepad is not visible click browse then go to your Windows folder and select if from there (notepad.exe)

Also be sure to check the "always open with" box if you want the file to be automatically opened with the notepad.

This works for any other types of files so if you have a video file that you want played with a specific player the same rule applies but you will have to browse to your application's folder.

right click the file again > properties > change > open with notepad

1. highlight your file

2. right click, click "Properties", on the "General" tab you will see "Opens with:" click the Change button

3. choose the program you want your file to be opened

4. make sure that you checked/unchecked the check box with the label "Always use the..."

5. then click OK

Right click and choose default program if you are sure. Otherwise click "look for the appropriate program on the web".

right-click the file, and select "open with" > "choose program" choose your program, and make sure you check "always use the selected program to open this kind of file"

Right click on an icon you want to open, go to properties, under open with click "Change" then just change to what you want.
