Hi all, I am just trying to make my photoshop a default image editor for all formats and I can't remember how to do it. If you could ring a bell for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

eplorer > view > folder options > file types delete image file types, next time you try to open one, it will ask you to specify an application to use by default. hope that helps.

a sweet disorder in the dress kindles in clothes a wantoness,
do more bewitch me than when art is too precise in every part

Thanks a lot!

Another way is to select your file, ( a jpg, for instance) Then right click and choose 'Open With', make sure the checkbox at the bottom that says something to the effect of 'Always use this program' is checked, and choose Photoshop. The only problem I think you might run into is that some older programs store file associations in the Win.ini file and these are read into the registry at startup, so your file associations could revert back on rebooting. If this happens, you'll have to edit the Win.ini file. Rich

Forgot to mention, this trick is a good quick-fix when the new software you just installed snags you file associations. ;) Rich

Also forgot to mention that in Win98 you have to hold the shift key when you right click in order to get the Open With option. I guess I was a little tired last night! Rich

Ohh now that makes more sense now - I could not really find that "open with" thing, it only worked when windows could not find a suitable program to run a file. thanks a lot for clearing it for me!
