I am having trouble opening some files from a web page. I have downloaded
the file but my viewer is Kodak Easy Share instead of Windows Fax Viewer or
something like that. Does any one have any help to get the document viewer
back to the default. Thanks.

Right-click on the file, chose Open With...., select what application to be
associated with opening file, and make sure that the Always use... is
checked.
