1. Download Resource Hacker.\n\n2. Locate explorer.exe in your C:/Windows directory. Copy this file somewhere and give it the name explorer.bak.\n\n3. Launch resource hacker and use resource hackers menus to open up explorer.exe. Once opened you will see a lot of collapsed folders.\n\n4. Expand the String Table folder and then find folder No. 37 (folder No. 38 if you're in Windows Classic mode).\n\n5. Click on resource 1033 and locate the text that says 'start.' This is your Start button, Change the 'start' text to your text of choice. You don't have a character limit, but the text takes up valuable taskbar space, so don't make it too long.\n\n6. Click on the button labeled Compile Script. This updates the settings for your Start button. But nothing will happen until you complete through step #20, so keep going!\nIf you just want to change the text and nothing else like hover text, image, etc. jump to step 16.\n\nChange your hover text\n\n7. While you're here, why not also change the text that pops up when your mouse hovers over your Start button?\n\n8. Right now it says 'Click here to begin.' Well, duh! We already know that's where to begin!\n\n9. Open folder No. 34 and click on resource 1033.\n\n10. Find the text that says 'Click here to begin' and change it to something cooler.\n\n11. Click on the Compile Script button to update this resource.\n\nCustomize your Start icon\n\n12. For an added bonus, you can also change the Windows icon to the left of the text, too.\n\n13. Collapse the String Table folder and expand the Bitmap folder at the top of your folder list.\n\n14. Click on folder No. 143 and click on resource 1033. You should see that familiar Windows icon.\n\n15. Go to the Action Menu and select 'Replace bitmap.' Select 'Open file with new bitmap', and locate the replacement image on your machine. Note: The image must have a .bmp extension and a size of 25 pixels by 20 pixels. Then click the Replace button.\n\nMake your new Start button active\n\n16. Now that you've made your changes, save the file in your Windows folder with another name, such as explorer1.exe. Don't name it Explorer.exe, because that file is already being used by your system.\n\n17. Now that we have created a new Explorer1.exe file we need to get Windows to use it. That’s where the Registry editor comes in. Click on your "start" button and then click "RUN". Now type "regedit" and click the "OK" button to open the registry editor.\n\n18. In the registry editor go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92; SOFTWARE&#92; Microsoft&#92; Windows NT&#92; CurrentVersion&#92; Winlogon". Once there double click on the string value "Shell". Once inside the text box will have "explorer.exe" in it, delete that and type in "explorer1.exe", (what we saved the new explorer file as) then click the "OK" button.\n\n19. Make sure explorer1.exe is in the "C:&#92;Windows&#92;" directory otherwise you will have to type the whole path ito the text box.\n\n20. Now reboot your computer and enjoy your new start button!

You can set the default program for any file type in the "Folder Options" menu you can access either from Windows Explorer or system control. Usually you get useful suggestions which programs can open a file type, but sometimes vastly different file formats share the same ending.\n\nYou should also disable the "hide file extensions for known file types" feature, while you're at it. Changing an extension sometimes is necessary, and can't be done with the default.

Do you have internet Explorer or other web browser? Anyway, go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and click on the 'Set Program Access And Defaults' tab on the left. Scroll down to the part that says 'Internet Browser' and set one of the programs from a list of available ones as Default.

Most programs have an import and export feature that you can select in the Archive menu. If you want to open any file from another program choose import, then browser opens and lets you browse find the file and import\n\nOr go to other program and ask export and when it asks where, type where you want it to go...*.exe \n\nOr\n\nOpen choose from program tool bar the insert/add menu then select insert archive, browser opens, find your file and select it the OK the operation and it will open within the other program. Once in other program you can click it and change the size and other parameters.\n\nIt might be read only, choose properties open >general deselect read only and choose archive >apply>OK\n\nOpen the machines explorer and use open with and choose right program\n\nMaybe you need to install some text converter or graphic conversion filters or plug ins, they can be downloaded from many free sites in the Internet, and install them. It helps to now what is A and what is B to provide more accurate answers. If you know write:\n the name of A +the name of B +converters +filters +download +free\nin the search of your intenet browser and it will show you some free sites\n\nBest regards\nSan2

You will have to change the association of the file names i.e. which program opens those file extensions. Right click on the file and choose  the program you want to open them with. Then choose 'Open with' from the drop down menu. Choose the program you want to open it with and there's a check box that says 'Always use this program', click that so a tick appears. Then the logic icon should come back as you have chosen it to open the files.
