If you go to a .png file and RIGHT CLICK while holding down the shift
key. You will get a menu with the option "open with". Select this and it
will take you to the association window. Now select the program from
that list that you want to open the png file and make sure that the
little box, "always open with" is checked. Now you have easily changed
the association. You can do this with any extension if necessary. If
the program that you want isn't there, then use the "other" button to
browse your syste.
