opening a file

uou know like when you download a file or put it on a cd it, when you click on it it asks " open with" and it gives a list of programs to chhose from to open the file in, so i clicked on a program and it doesnt work. so now that program is set to open files. How do i change that? Change where the files open. I tried right click/properties, that didnt work because it didnt have a option to choose a program. by the way my OS is 98 SE.

You could try ZipCentral also. It runs identically to Winzip without the splashscreen message saying how many days you're into your evaluation period.
