In order to do it, you should double-click a OBJ 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 OBJ file with a wrong program all the time even if there is an appropriate application supporting this format on a drive.
