Speeding up Windows - Change File Associations

Does it drive you crazy when that image file you just got opens up in Microsoft Paint or Lview Pro instead of in your preferred image editor? Here's how you can make sure that never happens again:

In Explorer, select a file of the type you want to change. Hold down the Shift key, right-click on the selection, and choose Open With. In the dialog box that pops up, select the program you want to use to open the file type. Check "Always use this program to open this file," click OK, and off you go.
