How do you change a default application for opening a file type. I am evaluating several programs for viewing my pictures. I had no default defined so that when I tapped a jpg file I got a popup menu asking which app I wanted to open it with. Someway or another I managed to check the box that says use this as the default and tapped the app before I could uncheck it. So now the built in picture viewer is set as the default and I would like to clear that so I get the popup box again. Is there any way to do this?

I tried this and my "Clear Defaults" is grayed-out (unable to select) and it says "No defaults selected", so how do i go about setting a default? I havent been prompted when I open any program, I have Handcent that I would like to use as my default messaging service, i tried selecting both Handcent and Messaging under Manage programs
thanks!
thanks!
i actually figured out the answer to my question above 
...in case someone else doesnt know, for the HTC Droid Eris anyway, to set default programs you need to go into People and select a contact and select to send a text and then it will prompt you which program (Handcent, Messaging, etc.) to use and if you want to set 1 as default, same steps w/ setting the default email program
