Right-click somewhere on the desktop and try again. Works for me.

Need more details. What kind of file is it, operating system, etc. Windows is basically not sure what program to open with that particular file extension. In windows xp you can right click on the file-> properties. Change the "opens with" to the program that it should open it with.
