In order to change what application opens certain files you can right-click on the file you wish to open, select "open with..." from the popup menu, then "choose program...", select the application you wish to use to open the file - and if this is the application you want to open each time you open this type of file....then make sure that you check the checkbox that reads "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and hit ok This should help you with your problem.
