Found the answer on Chron.com and Help Desk Geek

1. Click "Start" and type "regedit" (without quotes) in the search box. Click on "regedit.exe" from the search results.

2. Click "Yes" if a User Account Control message appears to access the registry.

3. Go to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Shell \ AttachmentExecute.

4. Look for a key consisting of a long string of letters and numbers.

   • These keys represent the file types you told Windows not to ask about when opening
   • The key may vary depending on the web browser you were using when you disabled the option.
   • For Internet Explorer, you will see {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} as a key under the AttachmentExecute key.

5. Select one of the keys under the AttachmentExecute key.

   • The right pane contains a (Default) value plus values for each of the file types for which you turned off the Always ask before opening this type of file check box.
   • Click a key to see its associated file type in the right pane.
   • Right-click on the file type and click "Delete."

6. Click "Yes" to confirm and then exit the registry. Windows will once again prompt you with a warning message when you try to open that file type.
