Do a right click on a file and select "Open With" Make your choice and
tell it you want it to do it all the time.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.

In the Windows Explorer, you can choose:
Tools | Folder Options | File Types
and the specify the program you want to open the program with.

You might not want to do that right now, though, as there is a new critical
vulnerability in the rendering engine, and Microsoft is recommending
unregistering the Picture an Fax viewer:
