Windows 10: How to change the way I view a download.

Hi, hope someone can help with this. I just recently downloaded some information from the internet, chose to save, then was asked how I wanted to view the information, I chose Microsoft Word. The box was already ticked- "do this for all future downloads". The problem is I can't read it on Word, it is all in script, tried all the options but nothing was in plain English. How can I change the view option from Word to something else?


Cheers

Change Folder View Layout in Windows 10


"uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.
