I think he wants to change the default association.

I haven't found an easy way but here is a brief (I hope not
too biref) description of the hard way.

Go to every program object that is associated with that
particular file type (both by extension and file type).
Open the properties notebooks and remove the type that is
giving you trouble.  Close all the notebooks and reboot.

After rebooting open the notebook for the program object you
want to be the default and reassociate.  Close the notebook.
Open the notebooks for the rest or the program objects you
want associated and reassociate.

That should do it except for objects that you set the
default on the menu page.
