- Select the file whose file type you want to set the (new) default program for. Right-click on the file and left-click again to go to " Open with - Select another app ".
- Here you decide on the appropriate app or program, select it and check the box " Always use this app to open "..." ". Save this change by confirming the " Ok " button.
- From now on, this file type will be opened with the default program you selected.
