File Association
 
I opened a file in .xls and accidently checked the "always use selected
program". Now I realize .xls is the worng program to use. I tried to right
click to "Open With" but I only have the "open" option.

HELP!

Depending on your operating system, holding the Shift key while
right-clicking should give you the Open With option.

Then you need to open Windows Explorer/My Computer and go to Tools--Folder
options. Go to the File Types tab, and edit it from there.
