Changing app to open files

Not really sure how to describe this... You know when you click on something that opens in a different app and it gives you an option of what app to open. E.g you might click on a link and you get the option to open it in chrome or Internet etc. And you also have the option to 'always use this action'. If you check this box and select the wrong app, how do you change it? The box never comes up again and I can't find any settings for it.

Hope that made some kind of sense lol.
 
If you selected to always open links in chrome and wanted to reset it, you'd go into android settings > Applications manager > Chrome and hit "Clear defaults"
 
Go into Settings->Application Manager, find the app that is currently set as the default, click on it, scroll down to the "Launch by default" section, and click on "Clear defaults". The box will then come up again next time it needs to launch an app and you can select the right one this time ;)
