I followed the directions below and Now when I download an SRT it just keeps asking me what program I want to associated with this file. I don't want a program to open this. How do I get it to stop asking me?

1. If you cannot see file extensions already, go to Windows File Explorer, on the View Ribbon, check the box marked ''File Name Extensions', close Windows File Explorer
2. On your Desktop, right click an empty part and choose New - Text Document, name the document XXX.exe and make sure you remove the .txt file extension
3. Open Control Panel, click the Default Programs Applet
4. Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program and let the list build
5. In the left list scroll down to .srt, select this entry and click 'Change Program'
6. In the resulting list, click 'More Apps' and at the bottom of the list click 'Look for another app on this PC'
7. Navigate to the file you created on your desktop (XXX.exe)
8. The list will rebuild and the association will be made
9. Close all Control Panel windows
10. Delete the file you created on your Desktop
11. Now .srt files will revert to 'Unknown file type'
