default apps

A note,
In build 10130, they won't let you set the default program after you install a program. You have to go here system-settings-default apps to set the default apps/programs. It use to pop-up and ask you-Do you want to change the default app/program or keep using the default programs/apps? I preferred that.

Yep, they're changing everything. Once you get used to it, though, it's not so bad. :)

try Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs
Set your default pgms ....

Associate a file type or protocol ...

Some of my pgms (Gimp, Textpad) don't show up in the Set your default pgms window.

I find it's a bit easier to use the context menu Open with.... to associate a filetype to those pgms - just make sure you put a check mark in the Always use this application to open files of this type box
(wording might be differnt, but I think you'll figure it out
