I have gone in and told it Windows Exploer and it works one time. It will not let me check the use this app for all files of this type. What is wrong ?

Welcome to the Windows Forum.

Never heard of this situation before. Usually an application is associated with a file extension. But your situation is different; clicking on a drive letter should just automatically stay in the same application - Windows Explorer.

Is this something that started recently? If so, can you do a System Restore to the time before it started?
