this is a little off topic,but i will help you.
what you need to do is:
pop up explorer
find a .nfo file
left click on it once
[shift]+right click on it
select OPEN WITH
a box will appear [ya have seen it b4 havent u]
click on button marked [other]
browse for edit and double click on it (its up to you to find it)
make sure box that says "all ways use this program to open this file"
is checked.
then click [ok]

it will open the file with edit and
if you double click on a .nfo file ever again
it will use "edit" to open it as default.
