Can't Open .webm Since FAH Misclick

[iggySPLOSION]

While attempting to associate a program with the .webm file type, within File Association Helper I checked the box that says "Do not show this window for .webm format.". Since I've checked that box, I've been unable to open any .webms. The .webm file type is NOT shown in the "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program" list, nor am I able to locate it in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Any assistance in rectifying this situation is appreciated.

Edit 1: When I right-click for a context menu, it says Open With, there is no Open, and clicking Open With does nothing, there is no fly-out menu from it.

Edit 2: By downloading VLC, I was able to then change the default program from VLC to Chome. All is well, it is a good day for me and therefore the world.

Find the file, right click and do an open with "program it should be opened with". That's all I've got.

JonnyDough's method should work, just make sure to click "Always open with this program" at the bottom.

I failed to properly understand your original post. I apologize. Did you try reinstalling the program?

Apparently, it is a video format that requires a media decoder. VLC supposedly has it built in. You might try downloading it and selecting the default file types.

That is one solution, I suppose, but prior to clicking that stupid check box, I was able to just open the .webms through Chrome, albeit it wouldn't allow me to set a default program for that file type so I had to go through FAH for every .webm I opened.
