E.g. Double-click a text file (with the .txt extension) and it will automatically open in Notepad. How do you open the file in Word instead? By changing the default file association for all text files. A file association is something Windows uses to figure out which program should open a particular file. You can change a file association permanently, or for only one instance. You can change the default file association with these simple steps.
-
Right-click a file.
-
Select "Open With..."
-
Select a program.
-
Place a check mark next to "Always use this program to open this type of file" if you want to permanently change its file association. Otherwise, this will be a one-time solution.
-
Click OK.
