Every time i click on a file it comes up saying.

What is the extension of the file? (the bit after the dot) eg. document.doc or file.xls.

Right-click the file. Select properties. On the 'General' tab look for 'Opens with'. Click the 'Change' button. Select the program you want that type of file to open with. (e.g. if it's a text document you might choose 'Word'. If it's a spreadsheet you might choose Excel). You may see a box labelled 'Always use this program to open these files'. If it hasn't got a tick in it, put one in. Click 'OK'. Click 'Apply'. Click 'OK'.
