Okay, this is for a friend. A while back he had a program and had selected the check box to always run similar programs with this particular program. This was a mistake. He is now trying to install a new program that fell into that similar program category. Sot his new program wont allow him to run it because it is not compatible with the old program he used to have, which btw isn't even on his computer anymore. My question is how can he change it so it doesnt attempt to run this new program with one that doesnt exist anymore?
Complicating computer question, please help I'll love you always!!?
That is complicated. You actually will have to change the association which will involve the registry. You don't have to do it that way, but it's the best way. For your specific needs, though, right click on the item that you want to run and then click on %26quot;Open with...%26quot; and then click on %26quot;Choose Program...%26quot;. Now you can select the program that you want to open it with. If you always want that type of file to open with that program, then make sure the %26quot;Always...%26quot; checkbox is marked.

Sounds like you need to dis-associate the file type with the old program, yes? Open any folder, click Tools, Folder Options, File Types. Find the file type in the list and click Change to associate it with your new program.
