Assuming Winxx:
First select (highlite) the file, then hold down Shift and right click,
select Open With and change it as you did before.

Or use Winfile.exe (in Windows folder)-- click on File/Associate, type in
the file-type and make the change there. Personally, I find that's an
easier way to make filetype changes. Archaic, to be sure, but efficient and
effective.

Don't know how to remove the default check. There might be a registry hack
if you knew where to look, though a registry search for "Open with" doesn't
reveal anything.
