problem with folder option/edit file type

[lanadee]

Hi, I am unable to edit a file type in the folder option.
The buttons to edit or delete are not available. Any
suggestions as to how to make them available?
The reason I wish to do this is I made a change to my
folders so that I could print a directory of a folder (per
instructions on microsoft "help" file..and now when I
attempt to open a file it does a "search instead". It
doesn't help to make the open the default...still does the
same....thanks for your help!
