Editting what program files open with.

[Rednut05]

Hi,

When you right click a file there is an option to 'open with...'.

How do you edit the programs that come up in this list? I can't get images to open with photoshop. If I say that I'll choose the program myself. The program picked doesn't register and therefore does not open the program or come up in the list.

Yet the program works if I open it direct....

So any ideas would be grand.

click tools at top menu
click folder options
click file types
edit away

Cheers.

I can pick say Jpeg. Go and route it to the program (Photoshop) that I want it to open with but once I select the .exe of Photoshop it takes me back to the list of programs with which I can open the file and there is no Photoshop.

It doesn't like putting it into the list.

I have to open Photoshop and then drag the image into it or open the image through photoshop.

Werid.

How about doing it from the picture.

Right click the picture, then choose "open with"

Bottom of the list is "Choose program"

then choose Photoshop, which on my PC, is in the "Other Programs" list rather than the "Recommended Programs" list

then check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file"

Do that. Then reboot. Voila

Robert should then be a parental sibling...
