Hellow everyone,

I had once upon a time mistakenly checked the box "Always use the selected
program to open this kind of file" in the "Open With" dialogue box. What to
do now so as to disable the said option AND re-ask the question upon
double-clicking a file of such a nature?

Don't double click on the file. Right Click | Open With | Choose Program and
change it to the program you want.
