Eewww.. How do I fix it and change the default program for this type of file or content, Dave?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re touching the tip of a big iceberg, actually. Regardless of operating system, somewhere there&#8217;s a table of file types and what applications can handle or display thoat content. Whether it&#8217;s a &#8220;.MKV&#8221; video file, a &#8220;.PPT&#8221; presentation file or a humble &#8220;.HTM&#8221; Web page, each type &#8212; and often, each filename suffix &#8212; has an associated program that &#8220;owns&#8221; that particular kind of content.<\/p>\n<p>Usually it&#8217;s invisible and you don&#8217;t much think about it. Double-click on a &#8220;.DOC&#8221; file and it&#8217;s opened up in Microsoft Word. Double-click on a &#8220;.MOV&#8221; and Quicktime launches. No worries.<\/p>\n<p>When things break, or when it&#8217;s simply the wrong program and you&#8217;d prefer another be used, that&#8217;s when it gets problematic. Some applications are smart enough to check and ascertain that they&#8217;re not the default app for a file type that they should own (like a video player set up to deal with &#8220;.avi&#8221; files) and can prompt you to pick them as the default, but other times there&#8217;s an inherent conflict, as you are seeing with two Web browsers. According to Microsoft, Internet Explorer should be the default for all Web-related content, but you prefer Google Chrome as your browser. So how do you fix it?<\/p>\n<p>Turns out the answer is right there on the Windows 7 START menu:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.askdavetaylor.com\/8-blog-pics\/win7-change-defaults-1.png\" title=\"defaults\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"164\" height=\"226\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdavetaylor.com\/change_default_program_for_web_pages_in_windows_7.html\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><i><font SIZE=\"2\"><\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Dave Taylor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:www.askdavetaylor.com\">Sign up for Dave&#8217;s emails<\/a> about free tech support and special offers on books, seminars, workshops and more.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davetayloronline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Looking for Dave online?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><BR CLEAR=LEFT><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"default\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-28793\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of Google Chrome as a Web browser, but every time I double-click on an HTM or HTML document, it opens up in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
