    how do i change files 'open with' to default


    hello i write this in here becuse i cant find a solution ot any other place.

    i accidently changed a DDS file, that is not suppose to open with any other program, changed the 'open with' in to window photo viewer. So all the same type of DDS file is now like this.......

    this is a file, if was in defult, that should not be open when clicked and should open something like "find it on internet to see what program should be used to open properly"

    oh and i did not have the previous version system to on so there is no previous version saved.....

    also i found that for similar file it was opened with something call "windows shell common Dll"

    please help i will give other info if need

    right click the file and select properties, then next to it's name (i think) it says open with, click it and select the program you want :)
