File associations in Windows decide which application loads at what time a user double-clicks a file. If these files are not configured appropriately a word document opens in WordPad. If the word is not installed on your system then word files will open in several wrong application. File associations make it simple for Windows users on the way to double-click a file plus load the accurate program. As an alternative of finding the program in the record of shortcuts within the "Start" menu and after that open the file, the windows user is able to just double-click a file on the hard drive. A Word file extension automatically activates the WordPad program if the file association is wrong.
