Today we discuss a simple fix to a common issue. Many times when you install software it takes over as the "default" program to open certain files. Today I will show you how to "change it back" if you changed one to a program you didn't want on accident. Default programs are stored in the folder options of just about any windows explorer window on your computer. This is great because from virtually anywhere you may be searching for file, you have the ability to switch the default application that opens them. Good luck and have fun! Thanks for stopping by!
