djhig Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hi,I'm on Windows 98 and need some help. I downloaded a file from the internet. When i came to open this file Windows prompted me to pick a programm to run the application. I chose a program, not realising that the "Always use this to run these types of applications" box was ticked. I picked the wrong program and now can't change what i want to open the file with.Any help would be gratefully appreciated.Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
