How to change default download opening program from notepad to ppt.

[llarson5810]

I am taking an online class for school and the lectures are located in powerpoint links that download when i click them. When I first opened them I got the "windows cannot open the file" notification and i realized it is because i do not have powerpoint. So, for whatever reason I tried to open it with notepad and did not realize the "always open files with this program" box was checked and now every time I try and open the file it goes straight to notepad. I downloaded powerpoint viewer so I can try and open them correctly, but now i can't figure out how to change the opening program

The only options I get when I right click the download link are "open link in new tab" and "save link as"

You need to do that on one that you already downloaded.
