Can someone tell me how to get the open with option back once you have assigned a program to open a file, I forgot to check the "always use this progam to open file" box, or is it too late? Thanks

Click START, HELP, and type in something like "associating files."

You should find something along the lines of:

"To change the program that opens a file

Open Windows Explorer.
Click the file that you want a different program to open.
On the File menu, click Properties.
Click Change.
Click the name of the program that you want to open the file, or click Other to select a program that is not listed."

Highlight the file you want to open - hold down shift and right click the file - the menu now has an "Open With..." option.
