Hello, this might be an odd question to post on the Queen Forums, but this has been bothering me for a very long time.

I was trying to open 7Z files and accidentally clicked on "always open 7Z files with Internet Explorer" and now I'm stuck and I have no idea how to reverse it. And now the files have an Internet Explorer logo as their logo and it's driving me insane.
But the thing is I do not have Internet Explorer on my computer, I deleted it.
Do you guys have ANY ideas because I can't find ANYTHING online.

Thanks

yep, easy enough.

to change the "open with" properties of a file:

♦ find the file left-click to highlight, then right-click on it to access a context menu
♦ from the context menu select "open with"
♦ select "choose another app"
♦ scroll through the list of apps to find a suitable one (or click "more apps" or even "find another app on this pc"
♦ tick the "always use this app to open" box
♦ click okay
