steps:
1.. Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button, and then
click Explore.
2.. Click a folder that contains a file of the type that you want Windows
to open in a program that you select.
3.. Right-click the file and, depending on the programs installed on your
computer, complete one of the following steps:
a.. Click Open With to choose the program that you want.
b.. Point to Open With, and then click Choose Program to choose the
program that you want.
4.. The Open With dialog box is displayed. Use one of the following
