Go to My Computer and then click on 'Folder Options' under the 'Tools' menu. Then select the 'File Types' tab and change the program you want to use for the particular file type that you're trying to open.

If you are using Microsoft's Internet Explore here is how it should work.\n\n1. Go to your tools menu at top, and select "Options"\n2. Under "Options" go to the "Security Tab"\n3. Click on the "Custom" button on the "Sercurity Tab" window.\n4. In the "Security Setting" window that should now be open scroll down to "Downloads" \n5. Under "Downloads" you should see "File Download" you want this to be Enabled. (Most likely it's set to disabled now.)\n6. Save and close everything including Internet Explore Browser.  Then reopen and test.\n\n(If the above steps didn't work or the "file download" was enabled already it means you are going to have to reset all the defaults.  To do that you go back in as before except instead of clicking the "custom" button you click "Default" button.  Though this will change any other custom setting you may have in place as well.)\n\nAs far as I know Firefox always ask.  But you can look in "tool" and dowloads and see if change things there is it comes back.

Technically your Internet Explorer should automatically ask you if you want it as your default browser. if not, then do this:\n\nWith Internet Explorer opened, go to Tools, Internet Options, under the Programs tab - check "Internet Explorer should check whether it is the default browser", click Apply, then OK. Close Internet Explorer. The next time you open Internet Explorer it will ask if you want to make it the default browser, answer yes.

My way is add a link and show the link toolbar on IE, right click on the link and change the url to say c:&#92;yourfolder&#92;run.bat, then use the link as button

Try lowering the security level. In internet explorer go to tools, internet options, security, then lower the default and custom levels.

Dont delete it, even though IE sucks, keep it because some pages can be viewed in IE only. When you have Firefox installed, go to start>  Set program access and details, click Custom, then "use my current browser". Make sure when firefox first loads, you set it as your default.

You can't, actually.\n\n"If you came here wondering how to make Firefox use the Windows Media Player plugin play a specific file type instead of Quicktime, then you should know that the WMP plugin is hard-coded to only play the proprietary Microsoft formats (.asf, .asx, .wm, .wma, .wax, .wmv, and .wvx), and Windows Media Player provides no provision for changing this."\n\nhttp://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213

You can either change the file associations (what they call MIME Type Assignments).  However, I would just re-install Media Player.  It will take over agin and its much easier.
