    right click, open with, click the other tab.  But I dont know any more than this sorry but look maybe in your list for something that says application.

      You haven't told us what version of Windows you're using so I will assume XP.
      If you're not using XP do not follow the instruction below!
      Go here:

      Scroll down till you find "EXE File Association Fix for Windows XP".
      Download the REG file and follow the instructions on the site.
