Have you ever tried opening a file and found that it opened up in an unexpected program? Recently, I installed a new PDF editor so I could do more than just view a PDF. I didn't need the full capabilities of Adobe Acrobat, so I opted for a lower cost program which could do most of what I needed to do, which included just basic edits. After installing this program, I received a PDF file in an email, and when I opened it, instead of seeing the file in Adobe Reader, it opened in the new program. It opened fine, but when just reading a PDF, I didn't want to see all the menus for editing a file. I had inadvertently changed the "File Association" and didn't know it. This also commonly happens with media files. We get a few calls about this now and then, and figured it would be useful to post some instructions on how to handle this.
