It is possible to get rid of it you must go onto the menu bar of any folder and then
to "folder option" and click the "file types" tab and there will be a list of file
extensions select the one you want to change click the change button and select the
program you want to use, if you do not see the right program listed you will have
to click "browse" to find it yourself.
