How to Set Default Programs

[lugesm]

In Windows there is a way to set the default program to open any file with a given extension.

I can't find any such option in OSX. Granted that I am new to the Mac, but this eludes me.

Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

• From within the resulting dialog box, select a application from the Opens with: popup menu.
• Click Change all...
