I used the right click "open" with option to open an unkown program problem
is that the "always use" button was ticked and so it always now uses this
program as the default. how do i set it back to the unknown program? (back to
default/ out of the factory choice?)

Sorry not very clear as im a computer idiot.

Hi Wayne

If you right click that programme again and then select the Open With.
option, you get a window with options like this.

668

The highlighted one is the one it always opens with - so just click o
the one you would rather use to highlight it and click OK

If you don't want it to always use a particular program to open with
then unchceck the Always Use box, and click OK

If you want to use another program altogether, click browse and selec
another program to add to that window of options

If you added an extra program by mistake , just click the other one t
highlight it and click OK. ( If there's more than one other option, jus
try them one after the other till you find the one that was originall
the default )

Hope this help

SIW
