Hi,

I actually found one of your previous post about the same issue, please check the links that suggested and see if it helps:

If you mean set the Office Web Apps as the default programs for desktop/local Office files, I'm afraid you cannot make this as Ofice Web Apps cannot be associated with the files on the local computer.
