Sure, Windows lets you change file associations. But the file type manager is kind of a pain to use. Types is a free, open source utility that makes it a snap. All you do is launch the program, select the extension you want to change, and then hit the properties button.
You can change the link class (which will change the program that is used to open the file), the description, or even the icon. In some cases you can also change the default action that takes place when you click a file. For example, when you click on an audio file, it could either begin playing in your default media player or it could be added to your current playlist.
