Help! Accidentally stopped .package files from being openable

I am non-awesome.

I was trying to open a sim file in body shop without installing it first and accidentally told Windows to associate all .package files with body shop. Now when I try to open a download, it just says "double-click on the file to install it" in a box that looks like it would have a patronising voice. I am aware I need to be patronised. *Weeps* why do I never think before doing stupid stuff like this?

mitchellcjs:
What operating system are you using?  If it is windows XP, I might be able to help you fix it so it is useable.

Open up a folder in view mode.
Go to Tools->folder options
Click on the file type tab.
Scroll down until you find the .package extension.
Set .package to open in SimPE or your .package viewer.

That's the best I can do, but I do know that somewhere there is a way to de-associate file types.  Perhaps someone much more awesome than I?

Or you could left click on a package file and "open with", then "choose program", then find simpe on the list and click the box that says "always use this program" while you have simpe selected then click ok.
That is, if you are using windows. No idea how to take things off the list, but firefox is on my list or programs to open packages, and since i've done the above procedure with simpe it hasn't given me a problem.

Jelenedra:
Morrigan's method is the one that I use.

Don't fret about it either, it happens.

simsfreq:
Thanks. Phew! ::) So if I open them in SimPE will they install into my game? Having a blonde day I think lol. And yes, I am on Windows XP.
