You can change the program used to open different file types like this: in an open
folder, pulldown 'Tools', click 'Folder options'. Select the 'File types' tab, and
highlight the file extension in question. Click on the 'Advanced' button near the
bottom. Now you can edit the way that file extension is handled.
