I haven't used Vista, but I imagine the procedure is similar to the XP 
instructions below.  You'll have to do this with each file type (.DOC, 
.XLS etc).

Changing file associations

Right click on file icon
Select Open With > Choose Program...
Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and 
choose the desired application.
If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here:
