Hey all,

I can't find the right search string for this. If there is a thread, I'm sorry in advance. Does anyone know how to change the default program a file opens with? Opera 9.5beta stole my default browser so IE no longer works when I click .html , and documents to go stole my default office document extension so office mobile no longer opens anything by default. Is there a setting somewhere which lets you change this? Thanks.

You can use Schaps Advanced configuration tool to make these changes. You can change your default browser and file associations.:cool:

thanks for your prompt reply :) Is there any other way to do this? Advanced Config seems to conflict with some other stuff I have on my touch already, and I don't want to uninstall it. Is there any way to do this through registry?

search for File Explorer Extension
Or if you want more options, try Total Commander CE :) it can also set file icon etc.
