I hate when certain
programs clobber my associations. When I want to open up WAV files w/ Sound
Recorder, that's my prerogative. A new program shouldn't associate itself with
certain extensions without asking first; unfortunately, not every program is
polite. So, if you'd like to open a "file type" with a certain non-associated
application: Click to select the icon, hold down the Shift key, then right-click
on the icon. In the pop-up menu, you should see an "Open with..." option. Select
that! From there, you can browse and re-associate temporarily or permanently.
