    Select a file in the Finder with that certain extension.

    Choose Get Info from the File menu.

    Expand the Open With section.

    Chose an app from the popup menu.

    Click Change All.



    Hope this helps.

    Control-Click on a file that you want to change which program opens it by default. Select "Get Info".



    Select the "Open With" triangle to expand it. Then select the App you want to use. You can then choose "Change All..." to change it to this program for all the selected files with that file type.
