I accidently set a file to open with the wrong program, now all the files with that extension open with that program, and then the program cannot read it, is there a way to reset the 'open with...' list so that the program file doesnt open with anything, and when double clicked the box comes up asking you if you want to select a program to open it with or search the net.

Rule, Right click a file with the extension you want to change which program opens it, click Properties, click the Change button and either choose a program on the list and hilite it then put a checkmark in the always use this program etc. box, click OK. If the program you want to use isn't on the list click the Browse button and browse to find the program you want to use click it and follow the same instructions above. Which file extension do you want to change?
