This is a how-to document on changing the default application for a specific file type in Windows 7. This could be useful if an incorrect application is opening a certain type of file. For example, when Notepad opens an HTML file instead of Internet Explorer.

1. Click on the Start button in the bottom left, then click on Default Programs along the right.
   
2. On the new window, click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
   
3. Locate the file type on the list and click on Change Program. In this example, HTML files will be changed from Google Chrome to Internet Explorer.
   
4. Select the program from the list, or click on Browse to select another program, then press OK to finalize.
