Computer Q&A Board  /  Windows  /  Programs automatically called from Explorer
Posted by: rainer, January 20th, 2006, 12:19pm
How can I change the program automatically called when selected from Explorer depending on the file's extension. I don't know why but suddenly photoshop is called when a .jpg file is clicked, instead of the Windows Picture & Fax display tool which was used earlier.
I know I can go through "open with".
Thanks in advance

Hey Rainer,

Go a step further with 'Open with...'

Right click on the .jpg from Explorer
Choose 'Open With'
THEN click 'Choose Program'

A window will pop up with a list of programs..

Click the one you want. Then check the box that says 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.

Hope this helps!
