'Associate a file type or protocol with a program'


Now you need to see which associations you want to change to another program. Unless someone has a reliable program or method for batch association changes, you'll have to change them one by one. To help you out a little, here are some of my associations (key file types in bold):

MS Word - .doc .dochtml .docm .docx .dot .dothtml .dotm .dotx .odt .rtf .wbk .wiz

MS Excel - .csv .dqy .iqy .odc .ods .slk .xla .xlam .xlk .xll .xls .xlsb .xlshtml .xlsx .xlt .xlthtml .xltm .xltx .xlw

MS Outlook (the program that comes with MS Office retail) - .hol .ibc .ics .msg .oft .vcf .vcs

MS Powerpoint - .odp .pot .pothtml .potm .potx .ppa .ppam .pps .ppsm .ppsx .ppt .ppthtml .pptm .pptx .pptxml .pwz .sldm .sldx .thmx


Suggest you google around for what the different file extensions' associations ought to be. It's a bit of a drawn out process, but it's kinda crucial that it's right. Also suggest that you make a point of going through all your programs to test them, and/or check all the file extensions assigned to VLC to ensure they are media file extensions.
