Right-click one file in Explorer and chose 'Open with...', then select another program for the extension, choosing 'always use...", and follow the prompts?
Or use something like 'Everything' which allows you to search by '*.mp3'. You can still use this method in Explorer itself, if I'm not mistaken, without Everything.

I think your file extensions do not show.
to check and solve this:
- go to a random folder ("my computer" for ex.) and click on the "display" tab.
- on the very right of the topbar click on "options".
- in the new window click on the second tab.
- the sixth checkbox from above should say something like "hide extension for known file types".
- uncheck it, click on apply and ok.
now you see file extensions for all your files again. you can now change it to whatever you want.

I thought I would have a quick answer, but it seems not - I have had this issue, buit currently VLC files on my PC show as distinct types, eg .mp3 are 'MP3 audio file (VLC)', whilst .ogg are (you guessed it) 'OGG video File (VLC)'. It may be simply a case of updating your vn of VLC player (mine is 3.04), because I don't think this separation of types existed previously. The info is stored in the registry under, for example,
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.ogg with a separate key for each extension registered, with corresponding data back up the reg list, eg
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ogg has a default value of 'VLC.ogg'
Its that default value which shows in Explorer, but there has to be a corrseponding entry further down (as my first inset above) which contains the associated executable etc, so you can't just edit the default value to a sring of your choise.

None of the ideas in this thread have worked. However, I have discovered a decent workaround by simply having as a field the file extension. That said, I still would like to give this problem of changing the file type.

We all know how the Youtube (more or less) work by now...
It reinforces your bubble by targeting you with more of what you are already watching!
Now, now, I wonder if it's experience a hick-up or something though...
Because why the hell it's showing me a video titled: "CLEAN WITH ME: The Kitchen!"

You did not browse anything around the same? Someone else from your home (having a similar IP address?)

the algorithm is affected by kind of self fulfilling prophecies of its own?
one can perform following experiment:
1) clear the cache/history, etc, and do not login into google, so that one start from fresh.
2) do browsing for certain amount of time.
3) then one is trapped into a certain set of contents being suggested and one's world view available is narrowed down ...
4) goto 1 or break
one find that the said set of contents one end up being fed to in each iteration are not quit consistent with the previous ones, which means that the algorithm is not finding the "truth" ... instead it is defining a "reality" for the viewer

...and this is why I don't want targeted advertising.
"Wouldn't you rather see ads for things you're interested in?"
My immediate reaction to the implications of that is, "HELL no". I abhor the idea of getting profiled so marketers can try to sell me stuff. If I want something, I'll look it up myself, thank you very much. Don't try to "cater to my needs", I find it condescending. You're taking me for a fool and I know you have an ulterior motive.
No, I don't get along with marketing and sales people.

So ... yesterday I upgraded my desktop to 2004 from 1909.
And this morning, I reverted to 1909 because it refused to have anything to do with my NAS...
Anyway, it was suggested that it might work with the NAS if I used IP addressing (\\192.168.0.11\... static for the NAS) instead of named servers (\\SGNAS\...)
So I figured I'd install it on my Surface and try it.
That wasn't a quick process, but finally it's installed.
And it accesses the NAS with no changes needed. Go figure.
So I thought I'd try the fix on the desktop, and reinstalled the 2004 update.
And a few hours later ... it's talking to the NAS with no changes.
Now I'm confused!

Just updated my test environment (4 hours ...) to W10/2004. Apart of some Dongle driver issues no problem so far.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

If it's anything like what I've been seeing, the problem won't show up all the time. But if it does, that's been my solution.
I still have no idea what triggers it however. Sometimes I can go for weeks without any problem of that nature.

Believe it was an effort well paid of at the end, so confusion is all good.

Have you included the node name in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or are you relying on some discovery tool / network caching? If the former, then I have no idea; if the later could it be that using the IP address caused something to pick up the node name? Do you use /persist on 'net use'?
(I'm not on 2004, yet, and have everything in \etc\hosts but still tend to use the IP address)

When I recognized the very poor speed of our internet connection I contacted the provider. They checked and confirmed something is strange... Their idea was to send a technician, but I intervented and told them to wait with this.
First I thought it is a pending update, but while checking what process does consume the net I found it is svchost and more surprising the process consumed all upload (and not download) bandwidth.
a.) Checked which process does use the net and recognized it is svchost.
b.) Went through all possible services which are related to network and found it is DoSvc (in german it is the service "Übermittlungsoptimierung") which seems to distribute the windows updates to our neighbors.
c.) Stopped the service and everything is fine now
Any similar experiences out there?
Thank you in advance
