Stupid question plz help me out

okay I have a dinosoar of a computer, but thats not the
problem. I tried to download something, and it said I had
to choose an application to open the file. I didn't know
what I was doing, and I clicked Miscrosoft word. The file
came out in numbers and little squares. Now everytime I
try to download something from the netit uses microsoft
word toopen it, and it always comes out in numbers and
squares. HOW DO I CHANGE THE APPLICATION THAT I WANT TO
USE TO AUTOMATICALLY OPEN DOWNLOADED FILES WITH? If you
could email me with an answer that would help so much!!
thanks!!

Please supply us with the extension of the file so we may suggest which program to
use and how to reassociate it.

First of all there are no stupid questions...only an
answer that you haven't learnt yet...

I'm assuming that you have
1.Windows Explorer..(the little file with the magnifying
glass on it) click into that
2.Go up to the top of the page and click on Tools,
3.go to Folder Options,
4.go to Files Types,
5.Find the file type and
6.then click on Edit,
7.at the Actions click on Open
8.and Edit under that window..
you will see at the top Application used to perform
action,,
9.click Browse..
10.find this file name Program Files,
11.find this file nameInternet Explorer
12and click it
13.and click on IExplorer.exe
14.and click ok
...That should do it.
Hope this helps...

Canapril
