If you're running XP, in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer), click on Tools, Folder Options, File Types, find the smc extension and either modify it to what you want, or just delete it.

In Windows 7, Microsoft decided the mere user can't have access to such advanced settings, so you need to hack the registry or download some tool to do it for you.
