Hi.

I have a problem a while back i downloaded a mpeg video. It was a file where i had to find the player. But the problem was i accidently clicked on MS word now whenever i seem 2 download anything all my download files are in word. How can i change it back to the way they should ?

Peace Renegade,

try opening windows explorer and right clicking a file of that type, now choose "open with", this time choose the correct program and say always open this sorta file with this program

That won't work. He already associated the file type. It won't ask you a second time.

Instead..open any folder. Click on View in the toolbar. Click on the File Types tab. Scroll down to the file type you want to change (probably MPEG Video). Click Edit. Don't worry about the icon unless you really want to change it. Click Edit. Click Browse. Find the player. Double click on it. Click Ok/Close until everything is closed.

If you're still having problems post the extension of the file you want to change.

my way has worked for me in the past, but yeah your way was the one i forgot how to do heh

Gou, scorched's way would work as well. He wasn't saying open the file and when it asks what program to use to pick the program. He was saying pick the program manually. In newer (I don't know about 98, but I know ME and XP have this) you can right click and click open with to choose which program you want. You could have mp3's open in paint if you wanted.

Possibly. But when you right-click an already associated file in win95 it only gives you the option of opening the file. the Open With function is replaced unless the file type has no association. XP might be different, though.

What's wrong with this software that it won't let you re-associate files.
