Yeah, you had to look it up. You can not associate files with no file extension. 
Windows has always depended on the file extension to know which app is supposed to 
be used. Your problem can be fixed by adding an appropriate file extension to each 
of the files. You may have to experiment a bit, but if you want them to load into 
Quicktime, I think you can add a .qt file extension.

This would have been a whole lot easier and quicker had you just answered the questions 
instead of trying to bluff your way through.
