Maybe you have two or more programs which have same function, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera which all of them are used for exploring internet. However there is only one program that becomes default program. When you double-click a file with .htm or .html extension in Windows Explorer, only the default program does open it.

In this tutorial, as a sample for you, you will learn to change default program for .html file, from Firefox becomes Internet Explorer. Surely you will be able to do the same thing to other file extensions and other default programs.

- Click Start button on Desktop, then click Default Programs.

- Within list of file extensions, locate and click ".html" extension. Then click Change program button.

- In the Open With dialog box, click Internet Explorer to become the default program, and then click OK button. Next, click Close button.
