Once it's open, select Programs > Default Programs. If you haven't got it pinned to your Start screen, the quickest way to open it is to do a quick search through the Charms bar. If you want to do this for more than one file type at a time, you can still make changes through the Control Panel. Check the box that says "Use this app for all files" to make the change permanent. This will open a new dialogue in Windows 8, with this Metro-style interface (curiously, it opens within the traditional desktop), where you can select what you wish to use.
To change the default program, right-click on the file you want to open and select Open with > Choose default program. Most of the time this is fine, but you might prefer a different program to do the job, such as VLC Media Player. Movies, for example, open with the new Videos app in Windows 8. Windows has a set of programs that it will always use by default when you're opening certain file types.
