What program opens attachments to emails?

[Guest]

somehow i changed the program that opens attachments to email. Can you tell
me what program to use. I did this process-
In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the Tools menu, click Folder
Options, and then click the File Types tab.
In the Registered file types list, click the file type you want to open with
a different program, and then click Change.
In the Open With dialog box, select the program you want to use, and then
click OK.
Click OK in the Folder Options dialog box.

but there are so many options to use, i don't know which one to make the
default.
can you help?
thanks
don

It depends on the type of attachment. Picture, spreadsheet, word document,
powerpoint show, what. There is no one program to open all of these items.

Thanks for the reply Milly. My problem is when i try to open any type of
attachment, i get a program called Nero that i have installed on my computer
and it says it can't open the file. I need to have the default set to
something else and i don't know what. Any ideas?
