Can be done that way too but you can actually set the file association via an individual file by right clicking it selecting "properties" then using the browse option and making sure the always open with box is checked after following the open with option in properties.

The view settings change is in the "View" not "file type" tab as that way you can check what file extension the file has. The default in XP is to hide extensions of known file types which makes that process harder which is why I added that step.
