Associating a filetype with specific program

Hey

I have simple tutorial for you.
its Computer stuff.
this is my first tutorial for public.
so lets start with simple one.
how to associate a file type into a specific program.

I have a document file with file type .doc
im gonna associate it with Abiword, a very nice word processor
and its free under GNU GPL.

Right click on any .doc file and select properties.



Now locate where the Abiword binary is.
dont forget to tick on "Always use the selected program..."



Now its done.



Next time you open .doc file will be open with Abiword.




You can go back associate this file type to MS Office at any time.
Thats it. Have a nice day pell.
