Perhaps these instructions from Vista Help will be easier to follow:

Change the program that opens a type of file

If you double-click a file in Windows and it opens in the wrong software
program, follow these steps to choose the program you would prefer that file
use. You can change this setting for an individual file, or you can tell
Windows to open all files of that same type in the software program you
choose.

Open the folder that contains the file you want to change.

Right-click the file that you want to change, and then, depending on the
type of file, either click Open With or point to Open With and then click
Choose Default Program.

Click the program that you want to use to open this file.

Do one of the following:

If you want all files of that type to open in the same software program,
select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check
box, and then click OK.

If you want only that file to open in the software program this one time,
clear the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check
box, and then click OK.
