In order to do it, you should double-click a CDF file icon. A list of programs that probably support such a file will appear. It is enough to choose one of them so that Windows would open a given extension with it. Incorrect file’s association will result in Windows trying to open CDF file with a wrong program all the time even if there is an appropriate application supporting this format on a drive.

The solution to this problem is very simple. You should buy or download a free (if they exist) application that will allow you to open, browse and edit CDF format (You can also try to find more informations on FileInfo).
