Answer Hello Anthony.
The easiest way is to RIGHT CLICK on the file and choose OPEN WITH and from the menu, choose the program you want to use, but you might want to first de-select the checkbox that reads "always use this program' until you are sure the file opens with the program you choose. Once you are sure, simply repeat the steps and this time make sure the checkbox is selected to ALWAYS USE THIS PROGRAM.. that way when you click on that file type it will always use the program you choose.
You might also want to visit my website at http://tpsconsulting.com and read the TIPS page on OPTIMIZING your computer. Then go to the SOFTWARE/SUPPORT page where I suggest installing all the programs from the PINK section as they will help with the cleaning/removal and ongoing maintenance from the spyware/malware issues that may be causing the current problems you are having with regards to keeping the correct program as the default... with many malicious programs that could be running in the background, it is not uncommon for some registry hacks to cause a different program to be used even though you have selected another one.. CCLEANER works well in checking the start up section by using the TOOLS of this program.
