Setting up default programs in windows is easy. Here is how you can create an association in the default programs control panel. Windows will always choose the default program to open up the files. User can select which program should be opened for a selected file type. For example, you have many programs installed on your computer to open MPEG files such as Windows Media Player, VLC Player, KM Player etc. However only one program in this list is set as default for MPEG, and that will open when you double click on it.
