How to open a file with different program other than default one?

Hello Vicky,

All you need to do is to follow these simple steps :

• Right Click on the file you want to open.
• Select Open With option.
• A Dialog box appears which asks you whether you want to select an application already present in the computer or do you want it to search for recommended applications online.
• Choose the "Select program from disk" option and a list of programs appear.
• Double Click on the required program and your file should automatically open with the specified program.

If you permanently change the option of opening it with a different application then Right Click on the file and go to the properties option. Click on the Change button besides the Open With option. then follow from step 2 above. Cheers.
