Hi yalexman03,

Let’s try this steps to set the programs as default for a specific file type.

1.In the Start Menu search box type the word default and then click on the first result.

2.The Default Programs main window will open and you will see four options.

3.Click on the Set your default programs link.

1.After a short Loading... screen you will see a list with all the programs that you can configure.

Here you can set a program as default for a specific file type, extension or protocol.  

Hope the information helps. Please post back and let us know.
