File association

[csb62]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could shed a little light on the
problem I'm having with file association. The check box for
" Always use this program to open these files " is grayed out and
checked. I used to at one time or another, have the option to
uncheck the box at will. Sometimes I want to temporarally open a
file with a different program instead of the one that it's associated
with.

So my question is......how and if I can make the check box an
option again? Below you can see the image show's the check
box available to check or uncheck. Mine's checked and grayed out.

Thank you

Update: No need to respond to post, I just figured out what was wrong or better yet what I was doing wrong.

Sorry for the post.
