The file I am trying to open is a WMP torrent viewer. It allows WMP to open torrent
files. The file displays as WMP.exe, but when I mouse over it, it says "file type:
torrent". When I downloaded this file, it had the generic program/setup icon.
I accidentally chose the open with: Quicktime option and it caused an obvious error.
Now the file thinks it needs to open w/ Quicktime, and due to the fact that .exe
files don't need a program to open them, I cannot change the "open with" property.
Right click any file you have. Now, pretend that none of the recommended programs
or additional programs can open this file. You can't download a program to open
it because it is an .exe file. You have accidentally assigned Quicktime to open
it but you want to change it back to its default status. What would you do?
