Two ways come to mind. One, you can right click a file while holding the shift key down, then "open with", then pick what you want from that list and check the box "always open with this program". This does not work all the time. The other way that usually works is to go to 'folder options' then 'file types' then change the file associations there. -Clint

And I bought a new SoundBlaster sound card. Problem fixed. Now, I have a more elemenary problem. Does anyone know how to change the association of an extension. Specifically, Creative Player has taken .mp3 from WinAmp. I was thinking that when I started WinAmp I would get a "WinAmp is not you default player, would you ...." message, but NO.
