    How do I put back my "open with" from internet explorer to what Windows 10 would normally open DAT files with?

    I accidently chose open with for internet explorer and now all my DAT files open up with internet explorer instead of what windows 10 normally had it opening with, Please help.

    .dat file opens only in wordpad

    Previously I needed to open a .dat file in WordPad I accidently left the box checked to always use this file to open .dat files. Now I have a .dat file that I need to open in Word. It opens in WordPad as gibberish. What do I do? I have Windows 10.

    i think he meant her as in her's , and Pampered Chef is a salesman program

    does Pampered Chef have it's own software, what do the dat files normally open in?

    .dat files are rarely directly opened, they are more often opened by the software that uses it.
